'Ice cold adventure on the Zuiderzee' by Michiel van Straten is about a true Dutch survival drama.
It is a reconstruction of a true survival story of three ice fishermen who set out from Durgerdam into the frozen Zuiderzee in 1849 and cannot get off. The twists and turns in the story are so incredible that as a novel it would soon be labeled too fanciful - the truth is sometimes more spectacular than fiction.
The lecture "Ice Cold Adventure on the Zuiderzee" takes the audience back to the harsh fishing life of the 19th century and sets the stage for the involuntary and compelling adventure of three ice fishermen. Their harsh journey across the ice takes center stage and is followed step by step. Narrator Van Straten interweaves this historical story with his own personal journey, sailing his sailboat on the modern IJsselmeer in an attempt to relive the old Zuiderzee. By empathizing with the conditions of the time, he paints a penetrating picture of hardship, perseverance and human endurance. The lecture is supported by rich and carefully chosen visual material, which adds depth and experience to the story.

Was a nice presentation, with fun facts.

For a group of young professionals, Michiel delivered a varied and interactive lecture in just one hour. Using many concrete examples and studies, he made it concrete how (self) deception is around the corner. And he translates this to how you might encounter this in work context. Highly recommended!

For a company night we had asked Michiel to come and speak for us. He gave an interactive lecture based on his book about how the subconscious can deceive us, using interesting research. It was very successful because everyone joined in to share experiences regarding this topic. I can only recommend this lecture!

Michiel took us through how irrational our behavior sometimes is in three quarters of an hour. With interesting research, videos and visuals, he especially took us from one surprise to another. Very nice and certainly interesting to think about after the lecture as well. I can definitely recommend Michiel!
