Bucharest, Romania, 26th Jun 2025 - Romanian author and philosopher Adrian Gabriel Dumitru presents a powerful call to emotional honesty with his latest work, Pretending: A Way of Wasting Our Lives. This introspective book blends poetic narrative with philosophical clarity to explore how the act of pretending—living disconnected from one’s inner truth—leads not only to personal dissatisfaction but to a life slowly slipping away unnoticed.
Written as part of Dumitru’s ongoing journey of “self therapy,” Pretending explores the contradiction between inner awareness and external performance. The author reflects on the emotional fatigue caused by continuously wearing a mask and pretending to be aligned, fulfilled, or even happy—when the reality within tells a different story.
“I knew the theory… I knew all I had to do… and still I was pretending. On and on and on,” Dumitru writes. “Until one day, I decided to stop. To reconnect. To be honest. Because I realized… I was wasting my life pretending.”
Pretending is not just a memoir or philosophical essay collection—it is a mirror for the reader. It asks each of us to confront the emotional gap between who we are and who we perform to be in public. With honesty and vulnerability, Dumitru leads readers through a journey of personal reckoning and inner realignment.
The book is now available worldwide on the following platforms:
- Amazon – Pretending: A Way of Wasting Our Lives
- Google Play Books – Pretending
- Apple Books – Pretending
In the book, Dumitru reflects on the exhausting performance many people maintain to meet external expectations. Despite knowing their truth, they continue to live in contradiction, disconnected from their core self. But the author offers a path forward—one rooted in emotional truth, honesty, and spiritual realignment.
Ideal for readers who:
· Are questioning the roles they’ve been playing in life
· Feel disconnected from their inner truth
· Are seeking emotional clarity and spiritual peace
· Want to begin their own process of self-therapy and reflection
Pretending offers readers not only perspective but practical inspiration to stop lying to themselves and start living more consciously.
