The best books to become a better version of yourself

Tomas Veres Author Of Before I Won
By Tomas Veres

Who am I?

Tomas Veres is a European novelist and poet. He is primarily known for his memoirs in which deep characters and a wide range of emotions are beautifully and painfully depicted. They come from a point in his life when he felt lost, uncertain, and uncompromised soul exhaustion from dirty jobs and the abnormal flow of creative thinking, energy, and satisfaction.

Before I Won

By Tomas Veres

Before I Won

What is my book about?

Before I Won tells the story of a young man fighting toxic thoughts inside his head. Bullying. School. Graduation. Parents. A period causing cold sweat was over. Now, the period he always dreamt of – adulthood. Freedom. Independence. The power to live your own life.

But instead of calming happiness only hurting darkness. Depression emerging randomly. Uncontrollable anxiety. Lack of self-confidence. Feeling lost. Lack of money.  All of the ordinary things in society keep young Tom outside of society. Relationships, career, life – they bring questions without answers. Who am I? What do I want?
