Over the Bridge
What if the greatest journey wasn’t across the world — but across your own mind?
After years trapped in the noise of work, deadlines, and doubt, one man begins an unexpected dialogue with something — or someone — calling itself Truth.
Their nightly conversations lead him far beyond religion, science, and psychology — into the hidden landscape inside his own brain. There, between the two halves of the mind, lies a the passage from logic to intuition, from thought to love, from noise to silence.
Over the Bridge is a modern philosophical novel about awakening in an age of distraction.
Through sharp humor, vivid dreams, and piercing honesty, Filip Filatov captures the existential tension of today’s world — the struggle between what we think and what we feel, between survival and peace.
This is not a self-help book. It’s a story of recovery — from thinking too much.
For readers who loved Siddhartha, The Alchemist, or The Stranger, it offers a new European, ironic, deeply human — and quietly transformative.
“Reason without music becomes noise.
Control without love becomes fear.”
Cross the bridge.
Meet yourself on the other side.

Tone & Audience
Introspective, ironic, disillusioned yet seeking redemption.
Target Fans of philosophical fiction, readers of Hesse’s Siddhartha, Coelho’s The Alchemist, or Knausgård’s A Man in Love, and anyone interested in the search for meaning amid modern chaos.

About the author
Filip Filatov
18 books3 followersFilip Filatov writes about calm prosperity, inner order, and the art of building freedom without frenzy. His work blends modern finance with ancient thought, offering readers a quieter, wiser path toward wealth, meaning, and self-direction.
Before turning to writing, he spent more than fifteen years in public administration, law, and financial oversight — experience that shaped his clear, grounded view of how money actually behaves in real life. His early book Over the Bridge first introduced the themes that would later define his philosophy: the difference between real needs and artificial wants, the weight of a noisy world, and the clarity that comes from stepping outside constant distraction.
He is the author of The Cushion Series, including Don’t Try to Beat the Market (and You Might), The Cash Habit, The Calm Investor, and The Sacred Rules Collection Series, including Ten Sacred Rules of Wealth. He is currently working on Stay Rich in Mind Before You Get Rich in Money. His writing explores the deeper layers of financial behavior — from the stillness required to make good decisions to the discipline that protects long-term independence.
Filatov also writes contemporary reflections such as Don’t Try to Rush Your Wealth, expanding his core ideas into the modern world of creativity, automation, and digital opportunity.
Beyond nonfiction, he is the creator of The Chronicles of the Immortals, beginning with Fionn: The Secret of Immortality — an epic rooted in European myth, weaving Celtic lore, ancient gods, and meditations on power, memory, and destiny.
He divides his time between Central Europe and the Mediterranean, writing wherever silence and sunlight meet. His books invite readers to rebuild their relationship with time, money, and meaning — one calm decision at a time.
