About the Book

An imperfect model for imperfect people

“I did not try to hide the darkness. I documented it. Because only what is acknowledged can be integrated, and only what is integrated can create light.”

Men with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) are stigmatized. Rejected. This book is the story of an underdog fighting to survive.

In The Art of Living, I don't just tell what I lived, I reconstruct who I am through every page. I divide myself into: Daniel (the water child who feels everything), Dani (the fire of the teenager who doesn't give up even when it hurts the most) and The book offers universal solutions for those who have gone through trauma or angst.

It does not promise instant problem solving, but applied and experimented working methods by the author.

“Every wound is a gate. The seven arts are not rules, but spectral keys that open the way back home, to yourself.”

Journal

Thoughts from the creative process

December 2024

On Vulnerability

Writing about my darkest moments was not an act of courage, but one of necessity. When you shine a light on the shadow, it disappears. BPD is no longer a monster under the bed, but a part of me that I learn to guide.

November 2024

The Structure of the 7 Arts

I realized that chaos needs structure to be understood. The 7 Arts did not appear overnight, but are the synthesis of 10 years of searching. From love to transcendence.

Fragments and Vision

The small inner library

What you will find in the book:

  • Autobiography: My honest story, from childhood to adulthood.
  • The 7 Arts: A framework for transforming trauma.
  • Poetry: Powerful poems that summarize profound states.
In a probabilistic series, with an incipit realized by birth and an inevitable epilogue of death, how can one truly live in this space we call life?

It is a manifesto through which I want to mark the quintessence of life through universal themes.

Did you know that a human lives on average 26,000 days? It is a one in several trillion chance that you exist in this moment.

Heartbeats, billions of cells dying and being born continuously, every breath and many other vital functions that work autonomously are supreme proof of how complex the human being is. It is estimated that over 100 billion people have lived so far, since the dawn of civilization. **You are one of them.**

Inspiration

Quotes and Vision

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

— W.B. Yeats

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”

— Paulo Coelho

Inspiration is the fire that keeps the author going. The Art of Living is not just an autobiography, but a synthesis of philosophy, psychology, and personal experience.

The biggest inspiration comes from the readers who shared their stories of survival and transformation with me.
