By Dr. Dragos

INCLUDES FOREWORD BY GUY DJOKEN, CEO UNESCO Center for Peace

An old proverb says that the strongest essence is held in the tiniest bottle. So too this little book (70 pages only) holds the essence for hope, meaning and courage, the essence for you to live as you have never lived before. It doesn't promise you anything. It simply tells the truth. The truth about you, the truth about the power of your dreams and about the struggles of your heart. These real life stories simply bring back hope into your life. You immediately get it: there's no more time to doubt, there's no more need for pain. If you've ever felt discouraged, if you've ever felt that you are not enough, if you've ever felt hopeless, this little book will change that.

A single entrepreneur, a single artist, a single author, a single startup or a single company cannot change the world. But what about 900 million of us? There are 900 million people in the world who are unfulfilled and unhappy with their lives. Are you one of them? Dr. Dragos makes us clearly see that beyond the field of suffering, doubt and problems that we face in life, there is a place in our hearts where courage, hope and love still make our dreams possible. This little book invites you to rediscover that place within yourself, and live the beauty and the truth of who you really are.

In showing you How To Find Hope, Meaning and The Courage to Fall in Love With Your Dreams, Dragos reveals a new way of looking at the world and a more meaningful way of understanding success. One billion unhappy and unfulfilled people is an enormous potential, a billion minds that could serve humanity and transform the world. But they’re not doing that because they’ve lost hope and gave away their dreams. If you are one of them, then you have nothing to lose. Go and do something that matters to you, don’t wait anymore. Your life will be meaningful to you and that changes everything.

FOREWORD

An old proverb says that the strongest essence is held in the tiniest bottle. So too this little book holds the essence for hope, meaning and courage, the essence for you to live as you have never lived before. It doesn't promise you anything. It simply tells the truth. The truth about you, the truth about the power of your dreams and about the struggles of your heart. These real life stories simply bring back hope into your life. You immediately get it: there's no more time to doubt, there's no more need for pain. If you've ever felt discouraged, if you've ever felt that you are not enough, if you've ever felt hopeless, this little book will change that.

In this book, Dr. Dragos stands for the hopeless, for the ones who starve for more meaning and purpose, for the rebels, the rejected, and the lonely. We are all sleepers, divine works of art that stand forgotten, ignored or dismissed by the crowds, people who wait for our value to be acknowledged and for our dreams to become real. The genius of Dr. Dragos makes us clearly see that beyond the field of suffering, doubt and problems that we face in life, there is a place in our hearts where courage, hope and love still make our dreams possible. This little book invites you to rediscover that place within yourself, and live the beauty and the truth of who you really are.

In showing you How To Find Hope, Meaning and The Courage to Fall in Love With Your Dreams, Dragos reveals a new way of looking at the world and a more meaningful way of understanding success. What if I told you that almost a billion people in the world are unfulfilled, unhappy and simply do not care for what they do? This is an enormous potential, a billion minds that could serve humanity and transform the world. But they’re not doing that because they’ve lost hope and gave away their dreams. If you are one of them, then you have nothing to lose. Go and do something that matters to you, don’t wait anymore. Is it going to be hard? Of course. The others will scorn at you. But you know what? Your work will be meaningful to you and that changes
