About the Book
With simple and direct language, the author shares stories from his personal experience. Throughout a life rich in events, spent in many countries around the world.
Seek to extract, from all his anecdotes and advice, whatever fits you best. Use all his life experiences as reference points for your own growth.
Revisit the brief essence of many concepts in philosophy and psychology, politics and society, religion and culture. So that you, in turn, are capable of having logical and rational discussions with cultured and intelligent people.
Master simple elements of the art of conversation and become better at recognizing the tools of manipulation around you. Read about what happens with friends, relatives, or work colleagues. Learn to adapt more easily to life's often confusing changes.
If even half of this book's content helps you develop your own philosophy of life, it's a success!

About the Author
Cristian Scutaru
I have lived half of my life in Romania (Bucharest) and the other half in the West (Switzerland, Canada, and the United States). After nearly 40 years of extensive experience in software development, I very recently decided to take things more slowly and retire. Hence the time I now devote to writing a book like this, alongside posts on several social media platforms (Facebook, Medium, Blogger, and WordPress).
I have had moments and experiences in life that I believe are worth sharing. I have had years when relatives and friends put me on a pedestal, only to completely forget about me later. I have had beautiful years in my relationship, followed by somewhat more difficult ones. But I am still with the love of my life, with both of us trying to survive and adapt to the changes.
I am an absolutely ordinary and unremarkable person. Perhaps like most of you, the readers of these pages. That is why I wanted to write this book, using straightforward and very ordinary language as well. I really do not care about style, but about substance. Just remember the underlying message of what I am trying to tell you.
I have also had quite a few moments in life rewarded with awards and professional recognition from many people. Code written by me can still be found in Windows today, from back in the 2000s, when I was working at Microsoft's campus in Redmond, USA.
But none of that really matters, and I explain why in the book. Personal fulfillment in life will not come from other people's recognition or from financial success. It will come from the way you learn to simply appreciate and enjoy everything you have around you.
