I am Adjiedj Bakas. I do future.<\/p>\n

But most people don’t want a future.<\/p>\n

They want their lives to flow smoothly for the next thirty years.<\/p>\n

But that’s not going to happen.<\/p>\n

After all, more will change in the next 50 years than has changed in the past 500 years.<\/p>\n

I study trends that are going on behind today’s headlines. I write about that. More than 1 million copies of my books<\/a> have already been sold. Translations appeared in English, Chinese, Norwegian, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish and Romanian.<\/p>\n

My most recent book is Megatrends India<\/em>, about the future of this new superpower. I presented it in July 2026 in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) at an event with the International Advertising Association, the Indian trade association of major advertising agencies and advertisers.<\/p>\n

I am now country director Netherlands of PRAG India<\/h2>\n

In 2025 I bought into PRAG India<\/a>, the mid-sized Indian boutique public relations agency that works for many Indian multinationals and for the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, the office of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I have become PRAG\u2019s country director in the Netherlands and connect Indian and Dutch companies. For example, we are helping the Amsterdam-based Christian family office Fortureon invest in healthcare and real estate projects in India.<\/p>\n

We are also helping an Indian astrologer enter the Dutch market. With my little book factory I am producing a joint book with him: Indian Astrology for You<\/em>. It will be published in 2027 in Dutch and English, with a foreword by clairvoyant Liesbeth van Dijk, who entertains us every week in Harry Mens\u2019 TV programme Businessclass on RTL.<\/p>\n

I now help successful entrepreneurs produce their biography<\/h2>\n

My clients say I have a golden pen. That is why I now also help successful entrepreneurs put their life story into a book. After reading my autobiography Levenslust<\/em> (2024), food guru and horticultural entrepreneur Rob Baan (Koppert Cress) asked whether my little book factory could help him produce his autobiography. The result is the hefty, vanilla-scented book De Toekomst Heeft Haast<\/em> (The Future Is in a Hurry).<\/p>\n

Together with my team I am now helping tech guru Ad Nederlof publish his legacy. His business book Bakens voor Succes<\/em> (Beacons for Success) came out in September 2026. We are now working on his substantial autobiography Mijn 80-jarige Oorlog<\/em> (My 80-Year War), to be published in Q1 2027.<\/p>\n

Would you also like a beautiful book about your life, your work, your company and your lessons learned? Let me know<\/a>. Who knows, together we can turn it into a colourful book that is a pleasure to read.<\/p>\n

I am also working steadily on the book Megatrends Suriname<\/em>, due out in the near future. It aims to give direction to my native country Suriname, which expects an oil boom from 2028 onwards.<\/p>\n

Through PRAG I now also give lectures in India on a regular basis. And for family office Fortureon I regularly speak at their events for investors in real estate and healthcare in India and Israel. This series of events takes place at the Corpus Experience museum in Leiden, next to the motorway on a business park full of innovative health start-ups.<\/p>\n

So I keep busy and off the streets. I have overcome my setbacks (I survived two brain haemorrhages, cancer and a near spinal cord injury). I have come to terms with the death of my second great love Vinco David (he died of lung cancer in February 2023, after 25 years together) and reinvented myself as die Lustige Witwe.<\/p>\n

Together with my little dog Laika and my live-in carer and assistant, I tour the whole country from my lovely home in beautiful Almere in my Rolls Royce Phantom, giving lectures at conferences, seminars, business gatherings and other pleasant get-togethers.<\/p>\n

I love to speak at conferences and other events. I am a born stage animal. I share my knowledge with my audience in a light-hearted, yet serious way. Infotainment. My clients find my performances informative, energetic, inspiring, humorous and also somewhat confrontational. Because not all trends are equally good. Yes, we are eating better, more and more deadly diseases are becoming chronic, the diagnosis of diseases is getting faster and better and we are eating better. Hybrid working is nice. We are going to restore and repair more. Throwaway capitalism is thus replaced by a beautiful valuable new materialism. We are going to revalue nature and live more sustainably. Much of what is dear to us remains.<\/p>\n

I was born in 1963 in sunny Suriname (= former Dutch Guyana). My ancestors came from India. I have lived in the Netherlands for more than 40 years, ‘the country where the sun shines from the inside out’ because the people here are so warm. I live and work in the garden city of Almere Overgooi. Before that I lived in Amsterdam and Utrecht. My zodiac sign is Scorpio, according to the Chinese zodiac I am Rabbit. I am enthusiastic and passionate. I don’t like arguing but I’m really good at it.<\/p>\n

I like to travel, so I’m a bit of a fly-a-holic<\/em> and have already seen a lot of the world. I am a passionate art collector. A British study shows that looking at art makes you almost as happy as love. That’s why I collect a lot of beautiful things. Being surrounded by all that beauty makes me happy. My fairytale house from the ‘ 1002nd<\/sup> night’ therefore resembles ‘a mini Rijksmuseum’, according to business magazine Quote. I love dogs. That is why dogs often figure in my lectures. After all, we humans are just like dogs: we are all looking for a dog bed in which we can withdraw with our tail wagging.<\/p>\n

Only the form makes the content something compelling. That’s why I take good care of myself. I like nice clothes and usually perform in Italian suits and shoes, preferably made of ‘nasty animals’. I believe that God created the snake and crocodile to make shoes. I am known for my colorful British ties and socks. It’s great that British humor has also been translated into playful ties and socks.<\/p>\n

I have many identities that I have bundled into a portable identity. I am averse to anything ‘woke’ and detest the identity politics that have blown over from America. I love nature, flowers and critters and think that humanity is intelligent enough to adapt to climate change. But I detest the ‘demise porn’ that the high priests of the Climate Church propagate, while the following applies to them: ‘preaching water, drinking wine’.<\/p>\n

I am positive and optimistic by nature. The smile is the shortest distance between people and I like to laugh, including at myself. What should a person do without self-mockery? My humor has taken me far. I also laughed myself out of that crisis when I became seriously ill in 2017. I am a spiritual man. The cosmos fascinates me. I would like to take a look on the Moon or Mars. Everyone has setbacks in life. But a kite only rises thanks to a headwind.<\/p>\n
