Aljoša Bagola, Slovenian creative director of the decade and author of the bestseller 'How to Burn Out and Take Your Life Into Your Own Hands', the best-selling book of 2020 in our country, delves into the elusive and elusive happiness in his new book. In doing so, he finds that our happiness does not really depend on how successful we are in imitating the success of others, but above all on the courage and determination to face our dark sides and integrate them healthily into our wholeness. Only in this way can we discover and realize our uniqueness – our essence.
Another bravura masterpiece, full of inspiring life stories and linguistic masterpieces, from the pen of an insightful observer of one's own inner self and current social events.
"Life is short, so let's be careful not to end up feeling like we've made a mistake. One day, in the roaring horizon, we will finally judge our uprightness - how bravely we looked life in the eye when it plowed deep furrows into our faces, how our nightmares could not impoverish our dreams, how we did not let our brightest goals be torn from our hands. When we set our sights on something with dedication, we exceed our givens. When we dream with intention, we more easily accept and overcome everything that life brings us unintentionally, and when we are committed to our goals, we do not give up easily."
As many as 11,000 copies of the first book sold
Aljoša Bagola, Slovenian creative director of the decade, popular columnist and lecturer, has already impressed with his debut book How to Burn Out and Take Your Life into Your Hands, a sincere confession about dealing with burnout. The book broke all reading records and, with 11,000 copies sold, became the best-selling book of 2020 in Slovenia. It has helped many readers (including abroad) to cope more easily with the frenzy of the modern world and to find comfort, peace and optimism in it.
Where the first ended, the second begins...
“My second book continues where the first one left off. In it (and with it), I overcame burnout and learned ways to approach contentment again, to better control my thoughts, and to experience happiness as moments that you surrender to with all your being,” says Bagola. In Happiness, Please, he delves into the elusive and elusive happiness. He finds that happiness is always a consequence, not a destination, into which we run. Because if we run into happiness like a madman, we end up just wandering. Therefore, the recipe for happiness is not hunting, but giving it time to find our address in peace.
Happiness according to Bagol
Unfortunately, happiness cannot be bought by the pound, and the pursuit of happiness is just aimless wandering. Our happiness does not depend on how successful we are in imitating the success, goals, and desires of others. It depends primarily on our courage and determination to acknowledge and accept our dark sides, our monsters from the depths, and to integrate them healthily into our wholeness, because peace comes from knowing ourselves. Only in this way can we discover and realize our uniqueness – our essence.
"To be free from influences and circumstances. To be committed to transcending self-deception and deceptive assumptions about the world and others. To allow yourself to be unique and to nurture the child within with wonder. To be independent, to think with your head and feel with your heart. This is happiness."
Another insightful bravura masterpiece
Bagola is not only a great observer of his own inner self and current social events, but also a master of storytelling and surprising verbal acrobatics. That is why his new book, full of lucid reflections, inspiring life stories and linguistic feats, is an excellent and inspiring read. As Bagola says, a book is not a manual for happiness, but more of a comforter, a pacifier or a faithful companion. But it can become a signpost to fulfillment, uniqueness and "happiness", because books are "mostly always something for the soul and sometimes also a tool for us to grow closer to our hearts and grow".
Leave happiness to chance and live your life to the fullest.
