Siddhartha I’ve already (long ago) mentioned that, as we change, grow up and mature, we also discover some new dimension and messages in books and films that were previously hidden from us. However, it also seems there’s some truth that some works simply need to be read as “older,” for you to truly catch (or…
Be Water, My Friend “Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put water into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put it into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Water can flow or it can crash! Be water my friend” – Bruce…
Meditations “The human soul wrongs itself when it allows itself to be overpowered by pleasure or pain” – Marcus Aurelius For those who perhaps don’t know (or went to school long ago and forgot), Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was a Roman emperor in the period from 161 to 180 AD. He’s the last ruler from…
The Archer “The way of the bow is the way of joy and excitement, perfection and mistakes, technique and instinct. But you will only discover this if you continue to shoot your arrows.” – Tetsuya (“The Archer”) You yourselves know what the situation is when it comes to Paulo Coelho… the man simply put…
The Emperor’s Soul The name Brandon Sanderson is not unknown to fans of science and/or epic fantasy. The creator of the Cosmere universe, who popularized the terms “hard magic and soft magic,” also finished Robert Jordan’s popular series “The Wheel of Time.” His name is known even to those who haven’t read his books… like…

Karma The desire (and action) to defeat, overcome myself and my weaknesses, constant improvement and continuous reading… and on top of all that the will to be “open-minded,” led to the fact that I can “challenge” some things and concepts/dogmas/beliefs for the sake of a better life. I’m very spiritual (but very, very, very moderately…
The Power of Gratitude: The Key to a Fulfilled Life I must admit I’m still amazed when I meet quite educated people, who know both psychology and holistic/esoteric/spiritual themes well, yet have such superficial and naive understandings of some principles, such as “law of attraction,” “affirmations,” “manifestations”… … or “power of gratitude.” Naive understandings start…
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…
“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…
