A Much Better Life

What is the secret of happiness? Well, it may be different for every person, but for most of us, it lies in love and family, in concord with all our professional and business aspirations. In this second book of short stories, Roman Litovsky, the engineer and physicist, shares his unique perspective on achieving a harmonious symbiosis by merging his personal life with a full-time job in the electro-acoustic industry while running a successful home business. His insights, based on his more than forty years of experience, offer a fresh and intriguing look into the role of talented and creative people in the big machine called - the corporation. You will find a lot of instructive lessons about consulting, running your own business, the creative invention journey, and the benefits of being your boss. And, of course, you will find the love, family, kids, and grandkids in these stories - who else will be left in this world when we all are gone?

This book is a natural continuation of the author's previous work, 'It is Never Too Late,' published in 2023. In that book, he chronicled his 1989 emigration from the crumbling USSR and his quest to find his professional and cultural place in the US. He also shared his experiences raising his children in a society that was becoming increasingly controversial and challenging. This new book builds on those themes, offering further insights and reflections on life, family, and the pursuit of happiness.

This book is illustrated by the art of Alexander (Sasha) Litovsky (1984-2020), who, until now, was unknown to a wide audience of art lovers. Sasha was a prolific artist with a unique style and vision of the world. He created hundreds of art pieces that constitute his "Magic World of Imagination," many of which were published for the first time in this book. This book is a tribute to his art.
