Twelve Sacred Rules of Time
From the author of
The Cushion Series
and
Ten Sacred Rules of Wealth
Time cannot be managed. It can only be understood.
In the ruins of Alexandria, a handless clock is found beside a faded scroll.
Within it are twelve ancient laws — reflections from forgotten philosophers, farmers, monks, and wanderers — each revealing a truth the modern world has
The Law of the Empty Hour — “He who fills every moment owns none.”
The Law of the Sacred Wait — “What grows fast, fades faster.”
The Law of the Slow Hand — “To slow down is to return to truth.”
The Law of the Still Clock — “Peace is the moment the clock stops — and you remain.”
Through lyrical parables and meditative reflections, Twelve Sacred Rules of Time bridges the wisdom of the ancients with the noise of the digital age.
It invites the reader to step outside the machinery of hurry — to rediscover rhythm, patience, and presence.
Part philosophy, part modern meditation, part spiritual literature, this timeless book speaks to anyone who feels the rush of days slipping away and longs to find stillness within motion.
If The Richest Man in Babylon, The Prophet, and Meditations had been written for the century of burnout, this would be their heir.
“Man does not need more time.
He needs less haste.”

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.
