About the Book: 

Andrew Wyman is a successful lawyer whose work takes precedence over his wife and 

two children over a 20-year marriage. 

His wife Mary becomes frustrated with him for not getting more involved with the family they raised together, especially his lack of love and concern for her and his inattention to their teenage son, and his falling grades.

But, Andrew Wyman sees himself as a provider. He brings home the paycheck and looks into their every need financially. He believes that is enough love and attention showered on his family.

He hires a therapist, Mr. Boggs to counsel his wife. In one of the sessions, after his refusal to see things from his wife's perspective, she asks for a divorce. She leaves him a note, sends the kids to his sister's house, and goes to stay with a friend.

Then, the strangest thing happens when he gets back home after the therapy session. A genie in the form of Mr. Boggs becomes his unmasking.

The genie unveils the struggles of another family who is undergoing the same situation. Andrew Wyman realizes how wrong he was and makes a conscious effort to redeem himself with his wife and children.


Shobana's Note:

This story with a whimsical touch is reminiscent of what a lot of families face in modern times. Often family life suffers neglect in the chase for power and money. The short story is well-written and I recommend it as a good read.

About the Author:


Jasmin Hajro was born on July 6th, 1985 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He grew up in the

village of Gora and went to school there.


When the war started, the family moved a few times in Bosnia, and eventually, Jasmin,

his mother, and his sister fled the country. His father stayed back to fight as a soldier.

The family fled to the Netherlands where he resides now.


Jasmin suffered serious personal tragedies both mentally and physically before he

started his company in 2015, Hajro, selling greeting cards and gift mugs door to door,

and ventured into writing after work. He wrote and self-published his first book,

Build Your Fortune, in 2017. He is now the author of more than 50 books.

His books are published in both the Dutch and English languages.


The Hajro company donates to two charities in the Netherlands.

Jasmin’s website is www.jasminhajro.com where you can learn about the author,

his personal tragedies, and the journey that spurred his writing endeavors.

Title of the Book: Challenges in Having Your Own Business In Real Life

About the book:

In this book, Mr. Hajro talks about his early days when he first set up his business,

the ups, and downs of his experiences while selling his products, and how he managed

to keep the Hajro company successful in spite of the setbacks. 

Here’s something to share from the book:

I got an email from a guy...

It was about the difference between perception and reality.

About sharing also the things that aren’t that great.

Because in life things happen, you know...

It’s about not only sharing the good stuff and the good times.

Because if you only share the good things,

people will have a one-dimensional image

and doubt you

because life has a positive side and a negative side

co-existing at the same time.

I know that of course...

I was just wondering.

who the hell wants to know those things...


Shobana’s Note:

Mr.Jasmin Hajro has clearly defined success through his ambitions of raising himself

through self-taught mastery. He reads and studies other entrepreneurs’ methodologies

and incorporates them into his business & personal ethics to uplift himself.

He sums it up clearly by saying this in his book:

Instead of dwelling on the negative stuff that will

inevitably happen...

You let it fuel you.
