Let’s take a stroll through three of his latest brain-dump masterpieces:
THINK … DEEPER: … a journey of finding the path to a beautiful life
In this one, Adrian Dumitru invites us — again — to ask the shocking question: Are you happy? Spoiler: chances are you’re not. He prompts you to think about why. If you were expecting new groundbreaking insight, perhaps you’ll be mildly disappointed — but if you enjoy being gently told you might be unhappy (and that’s okay), this book has you covered.
It’s like being served a plate of “duh – we all know we’re unhappy” with a side of “let’s pretend that’s surprising.”
Mr & Mrs FREUD: in love … but still playing psychological games
Here Adrian Dumitru (yes, again) dives into love and all its weird psychological games. Couples, therapists, ego, projection — all the usual suspects. He tells us that even “good relationships” are full of games.
If you thought love was straightforward, sorry — it’s apparently an elaborate psychological theatre piece. Because love needs more drama, right?
A MARRIED MAN … PERCEPTIONS ABOUT … LOVE
And then there’s this gem. Adrian Dumitru takes the role of the married man who contemplates love, meaning, contradictions — and oh yes, he invites a single woman to compare views. Mixed signals? Absolutely. He’s married, she’s single, so the perspectives are “interesting or at least not so boring.”
In short: marriage + love + philosophy = a recipe for “let’s overthink everything we vaguely feel.” Ideal for those nights when you can’t sleep because you keep asking, What does love even mean?
The Big Picture
Adrian Dumitru has so many books that one might assume he’s on a mission to catalogue all human suffering, all existential cravings, all love entanglements — and put them into essay form. His style: ask big questions, unpack contradictions, invite you to reflect (and maybe feel slightly awkward).
If you were hoping for light reading or a straightforward self-help manual — good luck. If you like wading through meditations on feeling, relationships, meaning (and don’t mind a hint of “Did I just read that?”), then buckle up.
Why You Might (Or Might Not) Want to Read These
Why you might:
• You’re the kind of person who loves “deep dives” and isn’t afraid of uncomfortable questions.
• You enjoy writers who question the status quo of love, marriage, happiness.
• You’re okay with philosophical essays wrapped in the language of self-therapy and introspection.
Why you might not:
• You were hoping for bullet-points, actionable hacks, or simple “how to be happy” formulas. This is more how to think about being unhappy.
• You’re tired of over-analysing love and just want a rom-com or something straightforward.
• You dislike being reminded that your relationships might secretly be psychological games. (Fair.)
Final Thoughts
If writing a hundred (or more) books were a sport, Adrian Dumitru might be in the hall of fame already. Whether he needs more books about love, meaning and human messiness? Maybe that’s the point. Maybe one can never have too many reflections on being human, especially when you feel you still haven’t figured it out.
So pick one of these three. Brace yourself for questions. Bit of introspection. Possibly guilt. Possibly clarity. Possibly both.
Either way — enjoy.
