 ## About this work

From childhood in Oslo and Voss to a life shaped by social work, music, dogs, loss and healing, Håkon’s The Glass Onion follows an unconventional search for meaning. Drawing on personal memories, work with vulnerable young people, the death of his beloved dog Cooper, and his life with Nessi, Håkon explores the connections between humanity, spirituality and the universe. He considers the brain as part of a constantly created “Brain of God,” reflects on suicide and society, examines the spectrum of emotions, and offers questions for those seeking to become a Buddha or Bodhisatva. At its heart is a simple but far-reaching conviction: love is the energy that moves the universe. Part memoir, part spiritual reflection and part call to action, this candid, questioning book invites readers to examine their choices, face their vulnerability and decide what they will bring into the divine: love or apathy.
