About the Author + The Book’s Backstory
Dear reader! So, the last page of the book "The Labyrinth of life" has been turned. If you are here, it means you have reached the end of this journey, and I sincerely hope that this journey has been useful for you. You have learned about how our inner "house" is structured, how "black streaks" appear in it, and, most importantly, you have received a map and a set of keys to find a way out of the most intricate labyrinth.
Perhaps you have a question: who is the person who guided you through these pages? Let me tell you a little about myself.
My name is Denis Andreev, and I am from Russia. I am not a public person and do not aspire to be one. My main goal is to share knowledge that can help others. My path to creating this book was long and began long before the first line was written.
It all started back in 2008 when I was a 5th-year university student. That's when I became deeply interested in the topic of a person's life path. Why do some people go through life easily and happily under similar conditions, while others constantly stumble upon insurmountable walls of failures and disappointments? This question haunted me. I began to thoroughly study everything I could find about the work of Consciousness and Subconscious, delved into psychology, but classic answers did not always explain the depth of the problem.
So I ventured further, through my own observations, research, trials, and errors. I tested the patterns I discovered in my own life (which is why I mentioned earlier in the book that I’ve both entered and consciously exited streaks of bad luck multiple times), and later, with their consent, in the lives of those close to me. Step by step, like a flywheel gaining momentum, a coherent picture began to emerge.
By 2021, after 13 years of research, I had a clear framework — the very mechanism that explains how a "black streak" takes root in a person’s life and why misfortune begins to pursue them. From 2021 to 2022, I rigorously tested this system in practice, helping friends in difficult situations. We experimented, refined, and it worked. The results were remarkable.
It was when my own life stabilized that a persistent thought took hold: This knowledge must be shared. I needed to make it accessible to as many people as possible. The only realistic way to do this was through the internet. Thus, in 2022, the idea for this book and its accompanying website was born.
You might ask: Why did it take nearly three years? The truth is, I have a mathematical mind. Numbers, diagrams, and analysis come more naturally to me than words. Writing was a struggle. I revisited drafts repeatedly, rewriting to distill complex ideas into simple, clear language.
This journey — from the first question I asked myself in 2008 to the final sentence of this book — took me seventeen years. Seventeen years of searching, experimenting, failing, and making priceless discoveries. I’ve condensed this colossal experience into a single book so you could walk this path not over decades, but in just a few hours of attentive reading. In essence, I’ve tried to save you 17 years of life by offering a ready-made map for escaping the Labyrinth — one I had to draw myself, often groping in the dark.
And now, in June 2025, I’ve finally completed this great work.
