I truly believe my book is alive.
Not only because it plants trees, but because it feels as if it was written in collaboration with something bigger than me.
The book has given me assignments.
One was: Go North to learn discipline.
That is how the final Alaska chapter came into being.
Over the years, readers of the Russian edition have told me something remarkable: the book often arrived carrying exactly the message they needed at that moment in their lives.
Now I am translating and editing it into English, and it feels like moving a living thing between two different worlds. Russian and English are completely different planets, and I hope the magic survives the journey.
So let’s play a game.
Tell me a page number, and I’ll share the quote that lives there.
You never know—it might be the message you need today.
