This book may find you at exactly the right moment

A book for readers who refuse to settle for easy answers

01

You are looking for meaning

You wonder why certain events, people, and decisions appear precisely when everything seems about to change.

02

You question what is established

You do not simply accept social rules, inherited truths, or a life guided only by habit.

03

You want to look beyond the obvious

You are drawn to travel, introspection, and true stories capable of opening up new questions.

Synopsis

A life shaped by connections that are impossible to ignore

Dasha survives in an almost inexplicable way only hours after being born. From that moment on, his story unfolds through loss, decisive friendships, journeys, risks, and encounters that always seem to push him towards a particular destination.

As he reconstructs his path, he begins to recognise repeating patterns: apparently insignificant events that alter entire lives, decisions that only make sense with the passing of time, and signs that remain invisible to anyone unwilling to look.

This is not a manual, nor does it promise definitive answers. It is an autobiographical work combining storytelling, travel, memory and reflection, inviting readers to examine their own story and ask how much is chance, how much is choice, and how much is destiny.

The author

Mario Moncada

Self-taught, a pilot, a tireless traveller and an observer with little affection for convention. After years of travel and an especially intense period of life, he decided to let go of much of what he owned and live in a motorhome in Lanzarote during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That change gave him the time and distance needed to organise the experiences, questions and ideas that gave rise to his first book. In it, he shares a personal perspective on the connections that run through our lives and on the possibility of recognising them before it is too late.
