About this ebook

If you ask a school boy about the ideal life ... that is one without homework and very long vacations.

The summer vacation is the ideal time for them ... but still one day the autumn is coming.

If you ask an employe in a corporation about the ideal life ... he will say that he would love as the working week to have 2 days of work a day instead of 5.

The school boy, no matter the age ... is not feeling free.

Years ago ... when he was not in school ... he felt the freedom of doing only what he wanted to do.

The employee from the corporation, even if he knows that he is paid very, very well ... he is not feeling free either.

But why?!

Well ... cause the society is teaching us ... somehow by force ... to live in ... “prisons”.

Now let me give you another example.

Let’s assume the case of a businessman, that already had success, has a beautiful house, has money, a good company, a wife, beautiful kids .... basically everything.

And ... still ... if you ask him if he is happy ... he will only reply that a piece from the puzzle is missing.

I know lots of businessmen that have a great success ... and even if they have everything ... almost all of them have a mistress that is completing their lives.

It’s a non sense ... i know ... cause most of them have the perfect life scenario.

An amazing house.

A amazing car ... or cars.

A beautiful wife.

Very nice children.

... and?!

Why this nonsense?!

Why does a person look for something else when already has the perfect life?!

Well ... cause what we call ... perfection ... is only a dogmatic way of seeing life.

The missing piece from the puzzle is the mistress ... that makes him feel loved in a totally different way.

She makes him be ... a free person.

A hobby would make the school boy and even the employee from the corporation ... to love what is doing ... and also feel free ... enjoying the present activity.

You see ... no matter what path we chose in life ... the moment when we forget about the dogmatic path of living ... we feel the freedom.

We feel alive.

Our actions ... will look like a total nonsense to the others ... but we will be happy.

The human being is looking for perfection ... but the happiness is not found in there.

The dogmatism will never help us to ... be us.

But ... on the path of discovering ... the real path ... at least we will have the guts to ... dream ... about the real freedom.

Ratings and reviews

MY LIFE IN A PRISON WITHIN helped me break free from mental barriers I didn't even realize I had. It’s a powerful read for anyone seeking freedom from their inner struggles

This book changed how I view my own life. Dumitru offers such a fresh perspective on the idea of inner freedom, and it’s truly life-changing.

Dumitru dives deep into the concept of internal prisons, and it’s eye-opening. The way he explains how we confine ourselves with our thoughts is brilliant and relatable.

About the author

I’ve started to write my first book at 16 … but then … realizing i could not publish it … i’ve abandoned the idea of being a … writer.

20 years later … i’ve started to write again … believing i will finally succeed … but i’ve failed one more time … not getting the success i was chasing for.

Another 5 years later … i’ve started one more time to write … but this time … more as a therapy.

It’s what i’ve defined as … self therapy.

I was analyzing and defining lots of weird ideas … that were a lot related to me … and my own soul.

I totally forgot that i was chasing for success.

I was simple writing my thoughts … in essays … becoming this way … maybe not a writer …. but what many define as … an essayist.

This is not a poet … and not a writer.

Or maybe is kind of a poet that is incapable of writing poetry … but is still expressing his thoughts … into a similar way … as a poet.

And is not a writer … cause have not the ability to write for too long time … about the same subject.

But maybe i am not an essayist… either.

I am just an ordinary person … that could be better defined … as a thinker.

Analyzing … and defining my life … practicing this process called … self therapy … i started to understand life … and the way to better paths which i should follow.

And i’ve wrote … and wrote … and wrote … realizing one day that i’ve published tens of books …. not really understanding how the hell I’ve succeeded doing that.

Today i dare to recommend writing … as a therapy.

I could even say … it’s a simple way of understanding who we are … but also a process that could help us … heal our souls.

I personally continue to … write.

It’s in fact … a non ending story that … at least for myself … will probably continue for the rest of my life.

But over all … i am glad … i am doing it.

I continue my philosophical journey … not being able to define myself for clear as a writer or an essayist… but …

Well …. most probably… i am on a good path.

And … i would dare to recommend to everyone … all what i am doing today.
