Curt A. Bergstén is a remarkable individual whose life story is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of dreams. Born in an orphanage, he navigated a challenging childhood before embarking on an extraordinary journey that took him across borders and eventually to the open sea. His life is a powerful example of overcoming adversity and forging a unique path, driven by an unyielding spirit and a passion for new horizons. “The Long Road” is his debut, a deeply personal account of a life lived to the fullest.

Several friends of Curt have suggested that he should write an autobiography, as his life has encompassed many experiences. When describing these events, the stories tend to be quite lengthy. For this reason, he chose to document aspects of his life in a structured format. Capturing all experiences in a single volume poses challenges, so the work will likely be divided into sections.

Drawing on the concept of “Time-Zones” from Curt´s earlier book, The Power of your Time-Zones, he separated his life into various developmental stages and periods of experience. Determining when someone transitions from youth to adulthood is complex and varies for each individual.

The book begins with his first experiences of working life at the age of 15, then divided into Time Zones, until the date and age of 75. A long journey, through life over 60 years. Which contains experiences from civil wars, severe natural disasters, imprisonment, knowledge from over 50 countries, as well as the pleasure of getting to know famous personalities.
