My author story is fairly simple.
I somehow always wanted to write. I loved literature way back in school and college and my interest in creating music had definitely lead the way, during the course of time, towards exploring the artistic and imaginative side of writing, as well.
So, I started up writing in early april, 2018 and never stopped eversince. I have never thought that writing creates such much joy and freedom.
I love spirituality, Buddhist teachings, Christian Orthodox teachings and I am embracing all the other ways that there are (Japanese Zen, indian/hindu philosophy, middle eastern religions etc.). I think they all point to finding yourself or awakening as a full human being in this life. So yes, I am planning on writing a lot about this, packing the knowledge and insights I gathered over the years, that helped me cope with difficult situations in life, when they arise, or simply, see life from a fresh and joyful perspective. Talking about spirituality, it is a never-ending process, that unfolds like a spiral towards understanding who we are and being able to integrate love, forgiveness, gratitude and equanimity in our lives, understanding oneness and creating the basic ground of peace where every beautiful thing can start to manifest.
I also love science-fiction. It usually explores unexplored realms and stands at the forefront of science and what we know that exists, always being one step ahead what society is. I will definitely publish fiction as well, not only science-fiction, as I think writing fiction books is an excellent way to develop your creativity, creating your own version of the world, to the smallest details.

The Pure Heart of Acceptance :
(The Golden Path series, Book 8)
released on
11 of December, 2022
Adrian Tanase
ASIN : B0D5HPKJXL
ISBN: 978-3987568244
103 pagesTo me personally, acceptance began as a necessity rather than a spiritual pursuit. Amid life's trials, I explored various avenues to alleviate emotional pain – from meditation and mindfulness to seeking solace in nature and prayer. Yet, amidst these practices, I stumbled upon something more profound: acceptance. I soon realized that only through acceptance could I truly transform my life and surroundings. Over two years, I meticulously documented my journey and insights, culminating in the creation of this book.
In crafting this book, I sought to distill my experiences into a concise yet rich narrative, detailing every step of my acceptance practice. At its core, acceptance is beautifully simple: it's about embracing the present moment with a calm heart that surrenders to what is. But simplicity does not equate to ease; it requires sustained and guided practice to yield true growth. Through my journey, I discovered that acceptance, when embraced wholeheartedly, has the power to gradually open our hearts like gentle flowers, allowing us to perceive the world in its pure, pristine quality. This profound revelation inspired me to rename this work from "The Path to Acceptance" to "The Pure Heart of Acceptance," reflecting the desire to live from a place of love, joy, and spiritual fulfillment.
I hope this book serves as a guiding light on your own path towards acceptance, empowering you to embrace its transformative power and experience its profound impact on your life. Namaste.

Mindfulness in Your Everyday Life :
(The Golden Path series, Book 1)
released on
21 of August, 2020
Adrian Tanase
ASIN : B09RMQBDJZ
ISBN: 978-3969178157
170 pagesThe simple practice of mindfulness, which can be explained in a few words as "directing our awareness in the present moment", can help us maintain a clear mind and sharp attention, and it is discussed, explained, and analyzed from many different perspectives, uncovering most of the facets of conscious living, in our today's society.
This book is all about mindful living, where two different practices are recurrently present, as a means to sustain our conscious approach: mindfulness and meditation. I am presenting simple techniques that will sustain a conscious approach to life, where your perception will always be clear and rooted in the present moment, and your life will always have a stress-free, relaxed, and aware point of view.
Even if you already know about mindfulness or that you are looking to find a resource to explain it more in-depth to you, this book manages to touch most of the aspects that are related to our mind, and to our relation to this world, to the direct experience that we can have when we discard or transcend our Ego, and mostly, to our personal relationship with the dynamic and ever-changing present moment.
I hope that everyone that reads my book will get to witness, in time, their pristine, clear, and natural state of mind, getting to gradually see the gaps of thought, through the practice of mindfulness and meditation, and finally, witnessing the unwavering mind of no-thought, which will illuminate and radically change their perception on life.

70 Daily Reflections For Your Spiritual Awakening :
(The Golden Path series, Book 4)
released on
16 of June, 2019
Adrian Tanase
ASIN : B09RN337VS
ISBN: 978-3965086005
129 pagesThroughout our lives, we all experience a gradual and slow process of Awakening. Those of us seeking the spiritual aspects of life are using centuries-old practices of accelerating this process, be it by using meditation, yoga, silent prayer, devotion, contemplation, reciting mantras or mostly by just keeping mindful during their day. By being more mindful and centered every day, we become more compassionate, develop gratitude for what we have and manifest a clearer perception of our world, both in the spiritual dimension and as well in the casual and mundane one. Thus, we start to love more, give and receive more, appreciate things more and live a balanced, happier and abundant life.
I wrote these reflections with carefulness to encompass most of the spiritual aspects that are present on a spiritual path and with the hope that these pieces of wisdom will create that much-needed space where your soul can finally feel the freedom that it is meant to experience here, on Earth, during this life.
