In principle, the terms FOMO and FOBO (soon about their meanings) aren’t something new in our world. It could be said they’ve existed since humans have existed. But I think we became truly aware of them in the last 30 years, with the appearance of mobile phones and social networks (and especially with social…
Manga There’s a high probability that, if you belong to the millennial generation and younger (honor to older exceptions), you’re familiar with the term anime, i.e., Japanese animated series. There are divided opinions about them. Parents’ opinions are mostly that these series are mostly full of violence, perverted and often can’t connect why the heroes…
Men Without Women [Text started somewhere in spring 2017, preserved in original, without any changes] Haruki Murakami is a specific beast in the world of prose. People experience him either as a genius or as literature’s oddball. But the fact is his works leave no one indifferent. I consider myself his admirer. For me his…
When the Spine Says Enough About six-seven years ago, I participated in one relaxed sparring match/analysis. Though several years had already passed since I put “pause” on my 10-year active martial arts training (because you never know when I’ll continue, there’s never an end there), some people thought that because of my great interest in…
After Dark What’s the probability that to the question “Which author first comes to mind, if the writing style is such that you’re not sure at what moment reality and fantasy begin to overlap, and you’re no longer sure what’s what” you’d answer with Haruki Murakami? 😀 Maybe it wouldn’t even be a surprise that…
“The Everyday Hero Manifesto” is Robin Sharma’s 13th book. Someone might say the number 13 is unlucky, but for me number 13 has always had good meaning (maybe because I myself was born on February 13… or maybe because I’m a bit silly)… and as far as I’m concerned, “The Everyday Hero Manifesto” hit…
One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way Kaizen (noun): Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement of work habits, personal efficiency etc. (definition from “Oxford Languages”) Kaizen – literal translation from Japanese: improvement, perfection Kaizen – something that sounds equally cool to say aloud as bankai, except the former is more realistic and…
The White Knight We all have our life story. And like (almost) everyone’s story, it has some dark details (in varying degrees of intensity). When we reach some (relatively) adult phase of life, it happens that some (partially or completely) suppressed emotional ideas and understandings (usually from childhood) begin to create psychological conflict within us,…
I, Tycoon After twenty-eight years of silence, Miroslav Mišković spoke up, Serbia’s biggest businessman from the late 20th and early 21st century. Why was he silent? Why did he speak up now? No, I didn’t write this, it says on the back of the book, “I, Tycoon”… though, now that I’ve said this out…
Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Other Patients On the cover of Rodrigo Muñoz Avia’s novel “Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Other Patients” stands this comment: “This novel will make you both laugh and think.” And that’s definitely true. 😀 “Hello. My name is Rodrigo. Rodrigo Montalvo Letellier. Before going to the psychiatrist I was a happy person. Now I’m…
