Author Adrian Gabriel Dumitru Releases PRETENDING A Way of Wasting Our Lives – A Raw and Philosophical Exploration of the Self

Bucharest, Romania, 29th Apr 2025 – Online Publishing Platforms – Adrian Gabriel Dumitru, an introspective philosopher and author, unveils his latest thought-provoking book, PRETENDING: A Way of Wasting Our Lives (Philosophical Essays… Contradictory Perceptions, Kindle Series Book 16). Available now in multiple formats, including Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play, this work continues Dumitru’s journey of self-exploration, diving deep into the often painful realization that we might be living lives of pretension, disconnected from our true selves.

In this 16th installment of his Contradictory Perceptions series, Dumitru addresses the inner conflict between the persona we project to the world and the deeper truth of our inner selves. The book is not just a philosophical essay, but an intimate, raw exploration of personal contradictions, reflective self-therapy, and the human desire for authenticity.

“Pretending is a way of wasting our lives,” says Dumitru, reflecting on the core idea that inspired the book. “We go through life acting in ways that are not in alignment with our deepest feelings, pretending that we are the person we think we should be, rather than being true to ourselves. The more I tried to define who I thought I was, the more I realized that I was simply acting, pretending, and ultimately wasting my time.”

This book is a powerful invitation to readers who have ever struggled with the gap between their external actions and internal feelings. Through PRETENDING, Dumitru opens a dialogue about the importance of self-awareness, the emotional toll of living a facade, and the liberating process of self-therapy.

An Honest Look at Life’s Contradictions

PRETENDING is more than just a philosophical work. It serves as Dumitru’s personal form of therapy, where he explores the deep contradictions he has faced throughout his life. The book reflects on moments of disconnect – when actions felt disconnected from his true self, and how this gap led to a sense of living a life that was not entirely his own. Dumitru is candid about his journey, acknowledging that while he knew the theory of living authentically, he often found himself pretending to fit into the expectations of society, his family, and even his own self-imposed ideals.

The work provides a nuanced exploration of why we, as humans, continue to pretend, even when we know we are disconnected from our essence. It reveals how the process of self-deception can become a deeply ingrained habit, and how the search for authenticity is often clouded by fear and societal pressures.

The Journey Toward Authenticity

One of the most powerful themes in Dumitru’s writing is the idea of self-therapy. The realization that one is “wasting” life by pretending is a painful but necessary awakening. It leads to an essential question: Why do we continue to pretend? Dumitru explores this question, providing a philosophical roadmap for those seeking to reconnect with their true selves.

Through his narrative, readers are encouraged to confront the dissonance between their inner truth and outward persona. Dumitru’s journey is one of self-rediscovery, and the book serves as a guide to those who feel trapped in their own pretensions. By shedding the layers of facade, Dumitru found a path to a more honest, authentic existence – and he encourages others to do the same.

A Must-Read for Philosophical Seekers

PRETENDING: A Way of Wasting Our Lives is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with the tension between their inner self and the role they play in the world. With reflections on human nature, authenticity, and self-deception, this philosophical essay is both a personal confession and a call to action for anyone seeking a deeper, more meaningful existence.

Adrian Gabriel Dumitru’s book is available now across several major platforms:

May 15, 2025

By

Coinbase Wallet proudly announces the launch of “Whale Night,” a groundbreaking campaign designed to spotlight five innovative cryptocurrencies—AEKR, DGLH, CVTS, PODG, and CRKT—that embody the future of decentralized finance. As crypto markets mature, Coinbase Wallet is doubling down on community engagement and education through immersive events like Whale Night, offering traders, enthusiasts, and institutional players a deep dive into the next wave of high-potential tokens.

What Is Whale Night?

Coinbase Wallet’s Whale Night is a curated event series and digital showcase that celebrates innovation in blockchain ecosystems. This campaign is more than a marketing push—it’s a community-driven movement that introduces next-gen tokens with real utility, strong fundamentals, and scalable blockchain infrastructure.

Whale Night features:

Educational breakdowns of emerging tokens

Developer AMA sessions

Wallet-integrated quests for token discovery

Airdrop and staking rewards for early adopters

Whale-tier analytics and trend forecasting

The event shines a spotlight on five promising tokens that represent distinct utility categories—from AI finance and NFT ecosystems to DeFi automation and decentralized commerce.

Token Spotlight: The Five Crypto Innovators of Whale Night

1. AEKR — Smart Contracts with Cross-Chain Precision

AEKR introduces a robust infrastructure for cross-chain smart contracts, enabling seamless interoperability between major chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. Designed for developers and enterprises, AEKR uses a modular approach to contract deployment, reducing gas fees and improving execution certainty. It’s a favorite among tech-savvy users seeking programmable flexibility and scalable DeFi tools.

2. DGLH — The AI Liquidity Engine

At the heart of DGLH is a sophisticated AI-powered liquidity mining protocol. It autonomously identifies arbitrage opportunities across multiple decentralized exchanges, optimizing user yield through dynamic pools. With an intuitive dashboard and real-time analytics, DGLH is making institutional-grade AI tools available to retail users—democratizing DeFi one node at a time.

3. CVTS — The NFT Validator with Real-World Utility

CVTS breaks through the NFT hype cycle with a validation protocol that links digital assets to verifiable real-world utility. Whether it’s digital memberships, IRL event access, or asset-backed NFTs, CVTS ensures transparency via chain-based verification layers. The platform also allows creators to build collections with embedded value and long-term utility—pushing NFTs beyond collectibles.

4. PODG — Commerce and Payments Reimagined

PODG is an all-in-one decentralized commerce and payment token, enabling frictionless peer-to-peer transactions across borders. With gas-free micropayments, merchant-side integration, and QR wallet sync, PODG is shaping the future of decentralized retail. Designed with mass adoption in mind, it supports multi-language UI and fiat onramps for emerging markets.

5. CRKT — A New Era of Tokenized Community Governance

CRKT pioneers community-centric governance with a DAO framework that actually works. Holders stake CRKT to gain voting rights over project development, treasury usage, and partner onboarding. With built-in delegation tools and anti-whale controls, it offers a fairer, more scalable model of on-chain decision-making.

Why These Tokens? Why Now?

Coinbase Wallet has always stood at the intersection of security, user control, and token innovation. As a self-custodial wallet used by millions, its mission is to surface the best crypto assets while preserving decentralization and user empowerment.

In selecting AEKR, DGLH, CVTS, PODG, and CRKT, Whale Night aligns with Coinbase Wallet’s broader thesis that crypto utility must evolve beyond speculation. These five tokens were chosen for:

Verified use cases

Strong developer communities

Scalable infrastructure

Ongoing roadmap activity

Community engagement potential

Interactive Highlights of Whale Night

A Call to the Community: Join the Whale Movement

Coinbase Wallet invites traders, collectors, creators, and curious newcomers to explore the tokens of Whale Night. The campaign is not just about buying, but about learning, contributing, and helping shape the decentralized future.

“At Coinbase Wallet, we believe education and empowerment are as important as access,” said a company spokesperson. “Whale Night represents our commitment to highlighting real projects with strong potential and connecting users with knowledge, tools, and opportunity.”

Whether you’re a retail whale, a DeFi novice, or an NFT explorer—Whale Night is your portal into the next chapter of crypto evolution.

Spiritual Business Guide ‘Zen and Stilettos’ Sells 100,000 Copies, Enters Publisher’s Top-10

Published

5 hours ago

May 15, 2025

By

BALI, Indonesia – 16/05/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Elizaveta Babanova’s debut book, “Zen and Stilettos,” has sold approximately 100,000 copies since its release, securing a spot in her publisher’s top-10 bestsellers list in its first year.

Market analysts report that the book, which combines spiritual practices with practical business advice, has resonated with readers seeking to balance material success with personal development, particularly among professional women aged 30-45.

“When I achieved what once felt impossible—discovering my purpose—I forged a path forward,” Babanova said in a recent interview. “At its core is my mission: to help others rediscover their soul’s intention, reconnect deeply with their essence, and live a multifaceted, fulfilling life.”

Industry experts attribute the book’s commercial success to its practical approach to spirituality in an increasingly complex business environment. Nielsen BookScan data indicates a 23% growth in the personal development category over the past year, with spiritual business guides showing particular strength.

“I spent years searching for meaning,” said Babanova, who holds a background in finance before transitioning to writing and entrepreneurship. “It’s striking how much of the external world seems designed to disconnect us from our true selves.”

According to published reports, Babanova’s second book, “The Best Year of My Life,” has also achieved bestseller status. Both titles have maintained strong sales momentum through traditional retail and e-commerce platforms.

The author has leveraged her literary success to develop additional creative ventures, including the “Path of the Soul” music series, featuring music composed by Elizaveta and performed by Tchaikovsky and Gnesin Conservatories graduates. The concerts have been staged in Bali and the United Arab Emirates. This spring, “Path of the Soul” concerts will be performed in Damanhur, Italy and Moscow, Russia.

“Through books, music, broadcasts, and writing, I share my inner state,” Babanova explained. “Those who resonate with it form a natural, deep connection. There’s no greater joy than helping others unlock their divine potential—it fulfils my own purpose.”

Market analysts note that Babanova’s success represents a growing trend of merging traditional business principles with holistic approaches to personal development. Her ability to translate spiritual concepts into commercially viable products has positioned her as a notable figure.

In addition to her writing and music, Babanova operates Mystic Travel, which organises retreats to locations she describes as sacred “places of power.” “For most of my adult life I have been called to places on Earth that hold sacred codes,” Babanova said of the travel venture. “They’re like haute cuisine: you can follow a Michelin-starred chef’s recipe, but it’s never the same as tasting their dish in their kitchen. Similarly, documentaries and books can’t rival the visceral transformation of being in these spaces. Their energy expands and reshapes you,” said the world traveler, who has spent time in over 45 countries.

The diversified business model has proven effective, with revenue streams from book sales, concert tickets, retreat packages, and merchandise contributing to overall growth. Industry analysts project continued expansion as Babanova’s brand gains international recognition.

According to publisher announcements, her forthcoming book, “Dance in Abundance,” will be released in 2025 and will deeply explore universal codes of abundance, including ancient initiation traditions and their modern applications. An English-language edition is being prepared for international distribution.

“I have deeply immersed myself in the study of the ancient practice of initiation,” Babanova said regarding her upcoming work. “During one of my own, I received an insight about crafting a line of sacred artefacts. In ancient times, every significant initiation was marked by a special object—a symbol of transformation that amplified a person’s desired qualities.”

That insight led to developing a pearl jewellery brand that combines natural elements with spiritual symbolism, adding another dimension to her business portfolio.

According to social media analytics firm Socialblade, the author maintains active social media channels with over 500,000 combined followers across platforms, where she shares content related to personal growth and business development.

“Creative expression became my way of sharing profound inner states,” Babanova said. “Books, albums, and concerts flowed naturally from what I felt. Words alone couldn’t capture the depth of those emotions, so I turned to music and performance to convey unconditional love and the joy of existence.”

Market research firm BookScan reports that the success of “Zen and Stilettos” has helped drive a 15% increase in the spiritual business advice subcategory over the past fiscal year. The book has been particularly successful in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg, with growing interest in international markets.

Literary critics have noted the book’s accessibility despite addressing complex philosophical concepts. The Russian Publishers Association recognised the work in its annual report as an example of effectively bridging practical business advice with personal development principles.

“Every project starts as a personal need—to experience and express life as something magnificent and eternal. Then it finds its audience, resonating with those meant to connect with it,” Babanova explained her creative process.

According to development partners, the author plans to launch a mobile application called “World of Abundance” later this year. The application will feature daily practices and support resources for her tribe.

Babanova’s rise in the publishing industry follows a broader trend of increasing consumer interest in integrated approaches to business success and personal fulfilment. Global market research firm Ipsos reports that 67% of professionals consider spiritual well-being important to their career development.
