THE ART OF LIVING AND LEARNING
About the book
I wrote this book for my nieces Živa and Iza, hoping that some of my experiences, insights, and knowledge will be helpful to them.
I am aware that I can’t protect them from failures. Nor do I want to. By doing so, I would deprive them of many valuable experiences. There are no shortcuts. For everything in life, we need to be just the right age and have the proper knowledge and experience to properly understand it, learn something from it, and enjoy it.
The book’s purpose is to help find the (most) right answers.

Why choose the book
Life is an amazing journey.
It takes time to understand the flow, direction and rhythm of this journey. Some people have talents to see the trends, patterns, and have the strength to take this journey up to another level—some call it “life management,” others “life design.” Having a role model in your life who can share wisdom; confirm the right for unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking; and inspire you to be the best version of yourself is truly priceless. The stories in this book are rooted in the unique real life experiences of a girl who made it all work. Self-reflection, daily wisdom, witty observations, and honest authentic sketches of important daily steps within our long journeys help the readers flesh out the core. This type of input can accelerate growth and remove boundaries for a happier, more fulfilled and positive life.

This book is about bitter and sweet experiences, frustrating and revealing, and even those you’ve kept hidden. It talks about reality, misconceptions, expectations, dreams, desires, and mistakes. In short, it’s about life. The stories in this book are enriched with insights, bitter and sweet moments. Still, above all, they are about the desire and determination to tackle things you may not have dealt with before and do it in your own style—uncompromisingly and decisively.
You’ve got what it takes. You have the recipe for transferring your experiences, not selling them. You would have sold them if it weren’t for you being in this book. But there’s so much of you in it (in fact, all of you) that it’s not about selling but transferring. Essentially, you’re passing on your years of experience to the reader or, preferably, to my daughters. And for that, I am infinitely grateful. You have given them the most beautiful, best, and most unforgettable gift.
And that’s that.
“Coming back” crossed my mind many times while reading this book. Of course, I reviewed the index to see if you titled any chapter as such (Coming back). You didn’t, and I was overjoyed.
Yes, exactly. That’s the essence of this book. Coming back. You come back to it. You come back to the stories you’ve already read. Why? Because it feels good, because you feel like you didn’t fully understand, comprehend, accept, or admit everything the first time around . . . because you feel like you need to reread a chapter because something happened to you that is connected to a specific chapter in the book . . . because you need confirmation of your thoughts, your attitude toward the world, people, your environment, colleagues, neighbors . . .
In short, you return to your book. And that means it’s a good book. Because you want to read it constantly and draw from it.
This act of returning makes the book and the author great.

ABOUT MARJANA
For many years, I worked as a media director at one of Slovenia’s largest and most creative advertising agencies—Futura DDB. My work involved observing people, their habits, needs, and behavior . . . Pursuing this field was driven by curiosity and the prospects of creative thinking, dynamic everyday life, and expanding horizons.
The decision to leave the advertising industry had been brewing inside me for some time. The need for change had become so strong that I could no longer ignore it. I firmly believe that exceptional results can only be achieved when you work with passion. Only then can you truly enjoy your work. However, my love had faded, and I felt it was time for a change.
I focused on sharing the knowledge and experience I had gained and exploring new areas. A completely new world had opened up in front of me: the world of the unknown. Everything happens for a reason, and every situation is a lesson from which we can learn and grow. I trusted and jumped into the unknown.
