Dash has two master’s degrees, one in Quantum Electrodynamics, the other in Philosophy of Science. In addition, he also has an MBA. Half British, half Swiss, Dash spends as much of his time in his beloved mountains of Switzerland as he does scouring the globe for his next thrill – big wave surfing, base jumping, paragliding, to name a few. In between, he has had careers in finance, and art dealing that took him all over the globe. But with age comes the pretence of wisdom and the realisation that the written word penetrates deeper and lingers far longer than any other. Like them or not, books will continue to change the world.
