Tomas Björkman - Nature, the Nordic Secret, and what is emerging

Tomas Björkman transcends science, business, philosophy, and social and personal change. Founder of the Ekskäret Foundation and coauthor of The Nordic Secret, Tomas’ story is a guide for anyone thinking about the future of society - a confluence of physics, macroeconomics, and entrepreneurship.

Tomas Björkman is that kind of singular individual that elicits endless curiosity - someone unafraid of change and has used that assuredness to transcend science, business, philosophy, and social and personal change.

Trying to prepare a representative and coherent biography for Tomas’ life is a Herculean task. Here’s the best I could do.

He has a master’s degree in physics and threw in macroeconomics on the side. From that natural world perspective, he led a life as a serial-entrepreneur in financial services, media, property and banking.

He then moved into the social science world and began to call himself an applied integral philosopher. In that life he founded the Ekskäret Foundation, with the purpose of stimulating sustainable development of individuals, organisations and society.

Along the way he has authored several remarkable books that will only gain importance in a post-COVID world, including The World We Create, The Market Myth and co-author of The Nordic Secret. Now he is the co-founder and chairman of the charity slash research institute Perspectiva - a one hundred year project to improve the relationships between systems, souls and society in theory and practice.


Tomas’ ideas bring potent hope to a world at a turning point and a time when we can’t yet see which direction it will go. Few conversations I’ve had have found such irresistibly unchartered terrain worth exploring and developing.
