Please, take this book seriously. Give it a chance. Your happiness is also mine.

Autorenporträt
I was born in Romania during World War II. There I lived through the communist ruling and the Marxist redesign of moral values. Those changes were supposed to set all citizens on the road to fulfillment. For lack of choices, I followed that road and became a successful dentist. My professional clout translated into some financial advancement, which helped me realize that what I truly needed was of a different nature: love, pride, wisdom, knowledge, none of which communism could offer. The unavoidable consequence was my dissidence and my immigration to the West. Settled in the United States, I went through a long process of purging the flawed mentality acquired while in communism. In the end, I found that the answer to my struggle is back in Romania where it all started.At the end of World War II, in disregard of international agreements, the Soviet Union imposed communism in the area given to it as Sphere of Influence. With this, a new value system was introduced into people's lives with consequences no one could predict. Reviewing my life in communist Romania, I show how a changed way of thinking determined, a changed way of living and how Marxism altered the nation's psychology and, in the end, ruined its own goals.
