He wrote the bestsellers: 'Verslaafd aan liefde' and 'De verslaving voorbij'. In his new book, Jan describes intense events, such as those that occur in every human life. Pleasant - such as a mutual crush or the birth of a child - and painful, such as the end of a relationship, a burnout, an illness or approaching death.
