More About the Author

Dragos Roua defines himself as a "serial online entrepreneur, personal development fanatic, blogger, father, dreamer, risk taker. He also think happiness is a process, not a goal."

If you wanted to spend just 5 seconds and find out everything about him, the first paragraph should do it. Really, this is how he is. But if you want to go into details, let's take it one at a time.

Dragos Roua was born in Romania, in a town called Ramnicu Valcea, in the center of the country. But after he finished high-school, he moved to Bucharest where he stayed to pursue his studies. He finished the University of Bucharest with a degree in French Literature.

After that, worked as a radio host for 7 years. At some point, around his thirties, he decided it's time to start his own company. The founding was easy, even if there was no money around: he used the 3F technique: family, friends and fools. He managed his projects from scratch and in 10 years he become leader on several niches (cars and lifestyle). After going with his company through all the 7 stages of a business, he decided it's time to sell. Which he did, for a good profit.

After he sold his company, Dragos' new project was his personal development blog at http://www.dragosroua.com. In a very short time the blog become quite popoular, being visited by tens of thousands every month.

Many of his books are inspired by articles initially published there.

I have known Dragos for some time now and have been reading his blog posts. Dragos is a really smart guy and he is very good at writing list posts (x reasons why you should ....). The eBook '100 Ways To Improve your Life'is no exception to his fantastic writing and wisdom. In the ebook you will find 100 real reasons that have the potential to make a huge difference to your life and change it to the way you want your life to be. Each reason is expanded and explained in depth on an entire page. I always say that if a book has just one golden nugget of wisdom it is worth purchasing, and Dragos' ebook will definitley give you one if not more golden nuggets of wisdom.

This review is from: 100 Ways To Improve Your Life (Paperback)

Each of the 100 ways suggested triggered in me (at least) one of the following 3 reactions:

1) Great, I'm already doing this. And yes, this has improved my life considerably.

2) Interesting, I don't know if that's applicable to my situation, but the way it's described makes sense.

3) I definitely need to try this out and implement it.

A suggestion like "move to another town or country" immediately has major impact on your life in case you choose to follow it - it might need some prep-time, too. ;-)

Other items like "start a blog" or "clean your house" can be implemented in an afternoon, yet still have positive impact on your life, albeit on a smaller scale.

And some things like "stop being judgmental" or "stop self sabotage" might be a real challenge to follow.

"100 Ways to Improve Your Life" is written in a poignant, to the point style. Since the author is NOT a native writer, there are some awkward phrases and the occasional typo in the book. However, nothing too distracting. The message is universal and comes across loud and clear. And that's what counts, anyways.

It's easy to read the book in 1 sitting. That's what I did to satisfy my curiosity. But to get the most out of "100 Ways" I'd recommend to then go over the book again. Pick a suggestion that speaks to you and focus on it until you've implemented it into your life.

Rinse and repeat - hey, with 100 suggestions that should keep you busy for a while - and improve your life, too. :-)
