Informationen zum Autor The word "philosophy" comes from the Greek "love of wisdom." John has a lively curiosity that was fostered during his days studying philosophy at university. He embraces the saying, "Never stop learning." He grew up in Waterloo, Ontario, and his studies and work as a civil litigation lawyer have taken him to wonderful Canadian cities: Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, Oakville and Campbellville. John now lives in Kitchener, Ontario. You can often find him enjoying its trail system, whether along old rail lines, through a forest or along the Grand River.
