What Really
Moves People.

A personal message

Almost 25 years
conversations with people.

Hello everyone,

I have now been a civil-law notary for nearly 25 years. To mark this special milestone, I wanted to share something of what I have learned and experienced over all those years. That is why I wrote the book What Really Moves People.

The e-book is now also available via Apple Books. I am happy to share it with you because the insights in this book grew directly out of nearly 25 years of conversations with people.

Conversations about important choices, doubts, loss and expectations. But also about what people do not immediately say and that only emerges when you truly take the time to listen.

In the book I ask questions that have continued to occupy my mind throughout those years. How often do we confuse reality with what we would like? How do you deal with pain for which you bear no guilt? How do you respond to reactions from others that affect you? And what can we as human beings continue to mean in a world in which AI provides more and more answers?

The thirty-three insights are personal, yet at the same time familiar to anyone who has ever paused to reflect on life, on others and on themselves. Perhaps you recognise something of yourself in it, or find words for something you have long felt.

You can view and purchase the e-book directly via Apple Books.

Do you know people who might be interested in these themes or in the book? Then I would appreciate it if you would share this page with them.

Happy reading!

Paul

From the civil-law notary, for life

Behind every conversation
there is a person.

As a civil-law notary in Mortsel, Paul Wellens guides people through choices about living, gifting, inheriting and caring for each other. These conversations also involve trust, expectations, boundaries and farewells.

With this book he shares insights that can also help beyond the notary’s office to see clearly and strengthen one’s own mental resilience.
