We all miss something in life. For some, these are just items to improve their quality of life or their lifestyle. For others, more spiritually oriented people, this can be things money can't buy.Most people miss good, reliable, trustworthy friends you can count on day and night for the rest of your life. Someone who treats you with respect, just being around them makes you feel good. Someone who has your best interest at heart. Someone who feels comfortable with you as you are. Someone you can trust. Someone who can be called your best friend for the rest of your life.Pierre Kandorfer analyzes why for many people everything is just a show, based on shallow people, one-sided, fake friendships, and why these relationships don't work. The book describes how to establish and maintain a genuine friendship based on traditional values such as honesty, integrity, loyalty, trust, fairness, and optimism.
Facing senior years is not much different than other challenges in life. Use common sense. Change what you can, but accept what you can't - and make the best of it. Attitude is everything. What is most important?Be yourself. Approach every moment with a wholehearted attitude of positive spirit, kindness, and optimism. Cultivate the moment.Accept both despair and joy as a part of your aging journey. That's life! Surprisingly, researchers found out that our happiness can increase at senior age when we find the right attitude.Appreciate your age, your situation, and the thousands of unique, sometimes life-altering experiences you made throughout the decades of your life. Doesn't this make you grateful, accomplished, and happy?Everybody is young once in a lifetime, but only the lucky ones get old. For most of us, being "old" is associated with all kinds of attributes such as being weak, boring, and lonely. Rarely do we encounter someone who is trying to age with grace.Being graceful is not trendy in our superficial, surface-only-oriented, youth-dominated world. What is "grace" anyway? It comprises several properties like dignity, decency, style, elegance, beauty, ease, and agility.Who doesn't like to age with grace? Everybody does.
If you have been raised traditionally and are enjoying a decent education, you have been taught much more than you can ever remember. You probably have a solid knowledge of pretty much everything most people need to succeed in life. You probably have a basic understanding of our society and know the identity of countless public figures, people who run our lives. You pretty much know who they are and what they stand for. At the same time, do you honestly know deep down in your mind who you really are? Do you really know your true identity?Your true identity is probably not what you think it is. It depends on thousands of factors such as your childhood experience, your education, your lifestyle, your habits, your secret and open desires, and much more.Additionally, you conscious "knowledge" about who you are is also determined by the fact whom you want to be or whom you hate to become. Furthermore, what we think we are is nothing but just a self-perception. Watching ourselves in a mirror or watching our pictures gives us an "impression" who we appear to be - or how we look like. However, you would be terribly surprised how this "image" differs from the way other people see us.Whether we want to admit it or not, we don't know ourselves as good as we want to, by far. On an objective scale, others might see us much more "objectively" if they are fair and objective. The "problem" is our brain. Don't be fooled into the belief that you know what your brain is doing just because it is your brain, psychologists found out.This book tells you how to discover your true-self.
I was born in the very heart of Europe, full of rich history, culture, and an over two-thousand-year-old tradition of feuds, wars, poverty, and human sufferings. As impressive some of the epochs theoretically might have been, they were all built on authoritarian, dictatorial, tyrannical systems. No such thing as democracy, personal freedom, or independence ever existed. With this kind of historical baggage, Europeans don't comprehend what we call personal freedoms, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When I was able to learn what American spirit and the American way of life really mean for the first time, I was moved, excited, encouraged, and motivated. I was instantly attracted to the American Dream and decided this is where I want to live, work, and spend the rest of my life.During my early childhood, I remember people talking about someone who "made it" in life. These were all folks who somehow managed to escape to America, the country of their dreams, the nation of unlimited opportunities, the place of unrestricted potential for personal success. In our vision of the American Dream, America was the only place where a poor, helpless "nobody" had a chance to live a decent life or even to become a millionaire. America appeared to us as the only society where anybody could generate his own fortune following the American spirit, this is with hard work, proper self-discipline, and limitless determination. Only in America, we were told, such things are possible, and we believed that deeply. At the end of WW2, we did not have to look far-away for the proof. At that time, everything good came from America. The US rescued us from Hitler's tyranny, fed us, helped us politically and economically to survive the terrible aftereffects of the war. What has been totally forgotten, America also gave the war-ravaged European countries, especially Germany, the vision and practical help to establish their own democratic political systems. At that time, the US Constitution was considered the ideal form of people-oriented government form. I still remember the enthusiasm of my High School teacher praising everything American.Additionally, everything we admired and were looking for came from America. Not just Coca Cola, Elvis Presley, and blue jeans. All technical, medical, and scientific innovations appeared to have been "made in the USA." Not to mention the biggest and most beautiful cars came from the US, of course.How couldn't I have fallen in love with America, a long time before I had the slightest idea of how to finish my education, establish my own family, or to pay for my transatlantic fare?When I first came to the US as a tourist in the early eighties, I was absolutely enthusiastic. Still, I was slightly anxious and skeptical. Why? My vision of America started was poisoned by the misinformation of European media, which is overly critical, even hostile to America. I instantly discovered that most Europeans were not able to understand the American spirit, the US Constitution, and the American way of life. There was only one reason. With the tyrannical history behind an upcoming Marxist worldview ahead, there was no way to comprehend Americans and their love of freedom, independence, and self-determination. And worst of all, how can freedoms be granted by God and not by the government? They didn't get it and still don't until today.Finally stepping on the American soil for the first time, how was I surprised! America was exactly the way I have dreamed about. Kind, warm-hearted, friendly, and lovable all-around. At that time, I fell in love with America again, this time on the basis of facts and my own experience.Coming to America, this was my childhood dream and a subconscious decision carved in stone decades ago. Nobody was able to convince me otherwise.
When I emigrated to the US, decades ago, I came for one reason only. My vision of life always used to be the American Dream.I did it because of America's absolute uniqueness of her political, economic, and social system. Only in America, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are the cornerstone of society. Only in America, I really started feeling free, liberated, and independent. What a feeling!The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing civil rights and liberties to the individual-like freedom of speech, press, and religion. As a kid, I always wondered why millions of people are streaming to America for over two hundred years. The answer is: They were and still are fleeing from their political, and religious oppression from around the world in search of a better life in the new world.What makes American Way of Life so special? First of all, it is emotion. American Dream is a sentiment, passion, excitement. In reality, is based on hard facts, and I tried to rationalize them.-America is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. -America is the best representation of diversity, consisting of over one hundred ethnic groups and cultures making America great.-America is a breeding ground for adventure, self-determination, competition, and free-market society. Capitalism has elevated billions of people worldwide out of their poverty caused by mismanaged, dictatorial, and Marxism-oriented countries.-America is a country of positive risk-takers.-America is scientifically, technologically, and medically the most advanced country in the world.-America is known for determination to succeed at almost any cost.-America is the most optimistic nation known to us. For Americans, the glass is always half full instead of half-empty.-America is defined by patriotism by people who love and defend the country.-America is known for virtues such as empathy, compassion, and volunteerism. Americans donate five to ten times more to needy causes than other countries.-America is the land of opportunity, where a homeless guy can become a millionaire.-America is famous for its grandiose natural beauties such as Grand Canyon and countless others.America used to be the shining city on the hill. Like in the entire world, everything is changing. As my father said to me many decades ago, the only constant in your life is going to be the change.Is America perfect? Oh, no! But it is still the greatest, most just, freest, and truly exciting political, social, and economic system mankind ever created.Even at my dream place America, nothing is the way it looks anymore. Not everything is bad, not everything is good. Just different, and we must deal with it. What can we do? We must protect what is dear to us, and we must fight whatever is trying to destroy our American Way of Life.This book is partially based on episodes from my podcast American Cheers, Jeers, and Tears, available on eight different distribution online channels worldwide.

LIBERALS HIJACKING AMERICAA political satire By Pierre A. Kandorfer This book was written in 2003. The author was years ahead of time of everybody. The book is a razor-sharp satirical analysis of America's worst nightmare vision: Liberals taking over our lives, our destiny. Good bye, American Dream.Good bye, American Way of Life. Good bye, our Freedom! A "must-read" for everybody concerned about America's future. Pierre Kandorfer tears down the mask of the American left-wing and their vision of a government-regulated, socialist society where everything goes. Surrender to the UN. Do what France and Germany want. Surrender US Constitution to the Int'l Court. Give up fighting Arab terrorists. Dismantle our armed forces. Dismantle our justice system. Open our borders to anybody. Pay for illegal's insurance and welfare. Outlaw handguns. Allow illegal drugs. Kill the traditional family. Allow gay marriage. Allow sex with minors. Increase taxes for people who feed our economy. Kill our businesses who provide our jobs. Stop promoting democracy in the world.The book is a hilarious satirical eye-opener, a description of a hypocrite movement on the left of our political spectrum. The radically left-drifting Democratic Party, the hazardously bias elite media, the phony Hollywood, the anarchy-driven ACLU, the agenda-focused US Courts, and a long list of non-profit foundations and organizations deadly committed to destroy our traditional values. Everything goes! In his funny, satirical way, the author shows exactly what is going to happen very soon if we, the silent majority, don't wake up and take action. We're going to get what we vote for!
The United States of America are virtually not comparable to any other state in the world. It is not a product of any historical circumstances, political settlements, or aristocratic decrees. It is entirely based on an idea, the American idea of freedom, liberty, self-determination, traditional values, and the pursuit of happiness. Never before in the history of humanity such a political concept existed anywhere in the world. According to the US Constitution, US citizens aren't subject to any earthly power or authority. American people are sovereign, only responsible to God. We chose our government, we determine our destiny, we rule our lives. This is why our Constitution is the greatest thorn in the eye of all authoritarianism and tyranny. Nobody can overturn America without destroying the Constitution first. The American exceptionalism can be demonstrated best by citing the Bill of Rights. They start with our 1st Amendment guaranteeing freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. Summarizing the essential of the American spirit, the culture of self-government, the Constitution and the rule of law, and the American dream are among the leading factors making America unique. An exceptional mix of liberty, limited government, natural rights, and religious freedom made the American spirit unique.
