The internet overflows with personal
development advice, and the abundance of avenues to pursue this goal makes
choosing one particular method over the others rather difficult. So a new book
on the topic might seem superfluous. But not when the author is an Italian who
speaks Romanian fluently and who writes not so much in order to be successful,
but rather because he has something to say. Bruno Medicina has recently
released a book in Romania, and taught the public attending the book launch
exactly how to use it. Clementina Anghelache, editor of the Learning Network and
Psychologies Romania magazines, told us about this event.
Clementina Anghelache: We are exploring the methodology offered by Bruno Medicina in HyperCoaching
for HyperLiving, in a world in which we want ever more. And this more seems
to be never-ending, both in terms of possessions, but also in terms of being,
living, experimenting. This is why it is a good thing to look for appropriate
instruments, because there are things that we can do, things we cannot do, and
other things that we should understand when to do. I’m very happy that Bruno Medicina
accepted our invitation to organise a demonstration together with the book
launch, to show how this book can be used. Coaching is necessary anytime,
anywhere. It is not necessarily specific to Romania, we already live in a
globalised world, in which anything that happens here may just as well happen
anywhere else.
Bruno Medicina told us how this book
came to be:
Bruno Medicina: My goal was to understand the universe, to reach a philosophy of
everything, as they say. Scientists are still trying to reconcile quantum
physics with the theory of relativity, because they sort of clash. I think it’s
impossible not to have a philosophy that explains everything, and obviously, I
believe I have found it. This is what I’m going to explain tonight. The point
is, I’ve always been obsessed with the so-called critical factor of success. I
mean, beyond the million theories, million explanations, million schools of
thought, what is the key? It’s like that Chinese saying that when a scholar points
to the Moon, the idiot will look at his finger. I’ve reached the conclusion
that these theories are only the fingers pointing to the Moon, so I set out to
look for the Moon. And I think I’ve come up with something, some food for
thought. What I suggest can then solve a million other things. You can use it
in interpersonal relations, you can use it in making money and in business, you
can use it to win a championship. Anyway, some ideas are self-evident, they are
only principles. But this is precisely because I don’t like it when everybody
tells you what to do: how to become a billionaire overnight, in 3 easy steps,
that sort of thing. Instead, I’ve come up with a set of principles, based on
which we can reach certain conclusions.
All those attending the event proved to be people ready to learn more,
especially about themselves. Alexandru, for instance, learnt about the event
from Facebook
Alexandru: First off I am
very interested in this subject and want to know more about the psychology of
relations, psychology in general. I am into coaching and mentoring and am very
curious to know what this new experience has to bring to the table. I believe
it entails many new things.
Daciana, another participant, has also shared with us the reasons she had
to attend the event.
Daciana: Out of curiosity,
you know. I am interested in this type of coaching and want to learn as much as
I possibly can. I receive newsletters from Psychologies and have so far
attended their events, which I find interesting. I have learnt a lot and may
eventually consider a different line of work.
Another participant Liana had a lot of expectations about the event,
which she has discovered by chance.
Liana: I actually chanced
upon the event and showed up. I’ve learnt about a book launch by Mr. Bruno
Medicina. I came here to learn more especially about myself. I am convinced the
event is a useful one!
Bruno Medicina confessed his book may not be successful through what it
isn’t.
Bruno Medicina: It’s not built after the US pattern, which
includes a to-do list. I don’t believe in the saying that if you make people to
believe they are thinking, you’ll enjoy a tremendous success. And if you
actually make them think, they are going to kill you. I believe this book
provides food for thought; it makes you think, find conclusions and this isn’t
going to be pleasant of course. Buy the book, by all means though, before you
don’t like reading it!
Everyone attending the event was amused by the
author’s introduction to his book and
perhaps got an idea, which may bring them closer to the Moon!
