" 110 MINUTES THAT NEVER END ": "THE BEST STORIES TOLD"
About this audiobook
Our journey through life is filled with experiences that shape us, shake us, and change us, often without us realizing it. Every emotion, every challenge, every reflection that passes through our being becomes a piece of that complex interior architecture that we call self. In these stories, we explore the concepts that define us, that accompany us along our journey, and that push us to reflect on our essence.
In every word, there is a psychological nuance, an invitation to contact us and others. Each concept – be it hope, resilience, silence, or more subtle emotions – represents an aspect of that constant dance between our internal world and the challenges we face daily. These stories are not just superficial reflections but attempts to discover the deep meaning that each of these experiences carries with it. They are a journey into the most intimate nuances of our psyche, where each word becomes a mirror that reflects our ego, our vulnerabilities, and our strengths.
The approach proposed here is not to simply tell events or emotions; it is an invitation to look inside ourselves, to explore the roots of our behaviors, to understand the reasons that drive us to make certain choices. It is a process of introspection that challenges us to question ourselves, to free ourselves from limiting beliefs and to recognize the deepest truths that lie in our hearts. Each story wants to be a small key, which can open a door to greater awareness and authentic personal growth.
In this journey, there are no definitive answers, but rather a space where questions can exist without fear, where every reflection can sprout and give life to new visions. Life is a complex and non-linear path, and it is precisely in this complexity that the beauty of our existence lies. These stories, therefore, are not just tales to read, but experiences to live, to feel and to understand in a profound way. Every emotion and every concept discussed here intertwine to offer us a clearer vision of what we are, of what we can become.

In 2020, he launched the website Universe Feminine, aimed at providing online relationship advice. Although it did not achieve the anticipated success, this initiative marked a crucial step in his desire to share experiences and assist others. The true creative breakthrough came in 2021 when he began authoring short stories for friends on WhatsApp. What started as a pastime soon turned into a mission: to become an author. Ferdinando developed a groundbreaking narrative form, far from traditional schemes, offering readers an intimate, genuine, and authentic experience.

Always seeking new passions, Ferdinando draws on an energy that keeps him youthful and ready to tackle daily challenges with enthusiasm. Yet, he never forgets that the true essence of our lives lies in the hands of the world’s wonderful women. On this subject, he often jokes, saying, “I will always love women more than money for one simple reason: goodness is always more important than a tool.” This sentiment encapsulates his life philosophy, rooted in authentic values and a profound gratitude for those who make the world a better place every day.
