My new book "Being Another Forever " just received more outstanding praise from Senior Marketing Executive Director, Lecturer and Author Jonathan Holburt : "What if we could compress all the wisdom and hard-earned experience we have into a single book filled from start to finish with justifiable rage, epiphanies, and urgent lessons? In Steven Sydney's case, he has in his philosophical book "Being Another Forever." His unique background as a globe-trotting international banker makes some of his perspectives unrelatable, while others are universal. He draws upon his encyclopedic knowledge to send us a barrage of humanity's foibles and follies. Some of his examples such as Carthusian monks spending a lifetime writing a tome only to burn it before their own life's candle had burnt down to the wick resonated with me. Steven Sydney's "Being Another Forever" is a Rubik's cube in words. The meanings of what he has observed over a lifetime are granular as well as grand. This book isn't for everyone. But great books never are."

"A wonderful collection of philosophical insights. Steven Sydney (aka Jean-Christophe Steven) suggests that time, space, causality and identity are human projections on the being-in-itself, the indiscriminate underlying reality. Reading this inspiring book will enrich your existential perspective." - Avi Loeb, Harvard professor of science, bestselling author of "Extraterrestrial" and "Interstellar"

My new book , in French but soon to be translated in English, expounds a lifelong philosophical reflection about what is the essence of being. Rooted in the existentialist and zen ontologies it is soaring into astrophysics considerations to culminate into a global weltanschauung

It is about a shackled corporate warrior, me, fighting for my autistic son. I will tell all about the painful reality of managing an autistic person while living the hectic life of a senior banking executive juggling the lies, pitfalls and conspiracies of the Executive Suite and of the dominant Narrative.

"Advenir Autre" and "Qu'Etre" , my two philosophy books, have been published in French and are available on Amazon and Kindle. They are published under my official ID name: Jean-Christophe Steven. Poetry will come soon afterwards as I have about 7 collections of poems ready to be uploaded
