Bas Kast, born in 1973, studied psychology and biology in Konstanz, Bochum and at the MIT in Boston/USA. He works as a science journalist and author. His «Diet Compass» (2018, awarded the Knowledge Book of the Year), in which he compiled the proven findings on a healthy diet, was hugely successful, with more than one million copies sold and translations into over 20 languages. In «The Nutrition Compass: The Cookbook» (together with Michaela Baur, 2019) he shows how the scientific findings can be implemented in everyday life. He recently published the Spiegel bestseller «The Soul Compass». He hosts the podcast «Der Wissenskompass: Gesünder leben mit Bas Kast» («The Knowledge Compass: Healthier Living with Bas Kast»), with guests from science and practice, and runs his own YouTube channel.
