Grigory (a.k.a Grisha) Ryzhakov grew up in the Russian Far East, bathing in the icy waters of Seas of Okhotsk and Japan and playing hide-and-seek in the snowdrifts that carpeted his native town of Korsakov.

He later travelled thousands of miles to vibrant London, on the way collecting his MSc degree in biochemistry at Moscow State and PhD in molecular biology at Cambridge University.
Meanwhile, Grigory has been ceaselessly creating poems, songs and prose until eventually he wrote his debut novel "Mr Right & Mr Wrong".

"Usher Syndrome" was his first published story, also adapted for the stage and performed at London's Barons Court Theatre in 2010.

On importance of throwing your passion into work and showing up as your authentic self at your work. Our society would have transformed if everyone had this attitude to work. They would have been happier individuals too.
Linchpin by Seth Godin
"I LOVE THIS BOOK! I even went back and bought a paper copy because I bookmarked every page of the e-book. Godin's advice is absolutely priceless and the book is a very fun read, but yet so meaningful."
