Praise for Dr. Dragos and
The Pursuit of Dreams

In this engaging book, Dr. Dragos Bratasanu shows us that
science is the contemporary language of spirituality. Read it,
and you will learn that everything in your life is an initiation
to your true potentialand pain and suffering, when you
apply your will to move through difficult experiences, is the
birthing process of wisdom. The Pursuit of Dreams teaches
us that when we trust ourselves and fully surrender, our
dreams will come true.

Dr. Joe Dispenza, New York Times best-selling author
of Becoming Supernatural and You Are the Placebo

The Pursuit of Dreams is the container for an elegant code.
Its an advanced and consciousness-shifting mind-ware that
can breathe life into your greatest dreams and lifes passions.

Gregg Braden, New York Times best-selling author of
Human by Design and The Divine Matrix

Dr. Dragos stands for the hopeless, for the ones who
starve for more meaning and purpose, for the rejected and
the lonely. The genius of Dr. Dragos makes us clearly see
that beyond our suffering, doubts, and problems that we
face in life, there is a place in our hearts where courage,
hope, and love still make our dreams possible.

Guy Djoken, CEO and executive director
of UNESCO Center for Peace

[Dragos is] an exceptionally creative and forward-thinking
fellow who knows how to... produce excellent results.

Dr. Guy Andr Boy, NASA chief scientist,
professor at Florida Institute of Technology,
and fellow of the Academy of Air & Space

Dragos is one of those gifted contributors who is practicing
what he is preaching. Maybe this explains his instant
transformative effect on his audiences.

Cristian Onetiu, entrepreneur in the
Forbes Top 500 and start-ups mentor

THE POWER OF SEEING THE IMPOSSIBLE

On July 26, 1852, British sprinter Charles Westhall accomplished something that was thought to be impossible at the time. Running in a torrential downpour on a racetrack in London, Westhall set the official time for running one mile at a stunning 4 minutes and 28 seconds. And although his record would be broken 31 more times in the late 1800s and early 1900s, each new record was only slightly better than the original time. All fell short of breaking the elusive four-minute mark for running a mile. For over 100 years, it was thoughtit was believed and acceptedthat four minutes is the limit to how fast a human can run a mile. It was known that our bones and muscles are simply not built to carry our bodies any faster. That is, until the impossible happened on May 6, 1954.

On that day, for the first time in history, British runner Roger Bannister broke the impossible four-minute barrier for running a mile. Bannister clocked his paradigm-shattering run at a blazing 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. And this is where the story of the four-minute mile illustrates the theme of this book.
