When I emigrated to the US, decades ago, I came for one reason only. My vision of life always used to be the American Dream.I did it because of America's absolute uniqueness of her political, economic, and social system. Only in America, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are the cornerstone of society. Only in America, I really started feeling free, liberated, and independent. What a feeling!The US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, guaranteeing civil rights and liberties to the individual-like freedom of speech, press, and religion. As a kid, I always wondered why millions of people are streaming to America for over two hundred years. The answer is: They were and still are fleeing from their political, and religious oppression from around the world in search of a better life in the new world.What makes American Way of Life so special? First of all, it is emotion. American Dream is a sentiment, passion, excitement. In reality, is based on hard facts, and I tried to rationalize them.•America is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. •America is the best representation of diversity, consisting of over one hundred ethnic groups and cultures making America great.•America is a breeding ground for adventure, self-determination, competition, and free-market society. Capitalism has elevated billions of people worldwide out of their poverty caused by mismanaged, dictatorial, and Marxism-oriented countries.•America is a country of positive risk-takers.•America is scientifically, technologically, and medically the most advanced country in the world.•America is known for determination to succeed at almost any cost.•America is the most optimistic nation known to us. For Americans, the glass is always half full instead of half-empty.•America is defined by patriotism by people who love and defend the country.•America is known for virtues such as empathy, compassion, and volunteerism. Americans donate five to ten times more to needy causes than other countries.•America is the land of opportunity, where a homeless guy can become a millionaire.•America is famous for its grandiose natural beauties such as Grand Canyon and countless others.America used to be the shining city on the hill. Like in the entire world, everything is changing. As my father said to me many decades ago, the only constant in your life is going to be the change.Is America perfect? Oh, no! But it is still the greatest, most just, freest, and truly exciting political, social, and economic system mankind ever created.Even at my dream place America, nothing is the way it looks anymore. Not everything is bad, not everything is good. Just different, and we must deal with it. What can we do? We must protect what is dear to us, and we must fight whatever is trying to destroy our American Way of Life.This book is partially based on episodes from my podcast American Cheers, Jeers, and Tears, available on eight different distribution online channels worldwide.
