Memory training

Many years ago, I had a painful realization:
My attention span was half of what it used to be.
That's when I began training my memory,
using ancient techniques known as mnemonics.

Memory training is such a powerful tool!
It allows me to retain lessons from whatever happens.
Over time, I stopped avoiding problems.
I started seeing opportunities.

At some point, I started writing about memory training.
That's when the Blue Fairy came to my mind.
She helped Pinocchio transform into a real boy.
Wouldn't she be a wonderful coach for my readers?

A decade earlier, I had seen her on stage,
not understanding a single word (the play was in Romanian).
It was the very moment I took a decision:
One day, I would write a book.

The Power of Pinocchio

Many years later, I was finally in the process of writing,
I really wanted to know who the Blue Fairy is.
I began having a close look.
That’s when the unexpected happened:

The deeper I went into Pinocchio,
the less I could believe my eyes.
I discovered an entire universe,
full of meaning, magic and forgotten wisdom!

That's when I set aside my novel on memory training,
and wrote The Power of Pinocchio instead.
Uncovering Pinocchio's hidden messages,
and their transformative power.

Everything is Here

When asked about publication of my upcoming book, I used to say:
“I already have an editor, he just doesn’t know it yet.”
That wasn’t just words, I truly meant it.
Why waste the present moment by living in a state of lack?

One day, I realized:
The ideal editor is me.
I’m the one best placed to publish this book,
freely choosing content, timing and languages.

That’s what The Power of Pinocchio is about:
Everything is already here.
I’ve always been the ideal editor.
I just needed to realize it.

I’m now learning a lot about the digital world,
much more than I ever imagined.
It's yet another way how Pinocchio
makes me discover my inner richness.
