But while the war eventually ended around him, its psychological impact never fully disappeared.
NUMB is a deeply personal memoir that explores what happens when a child grows up in an environment where fear becomes normal, survival replaces innocence, and emotional numbness becomes a way of coping with reality. Through raw memories and honest reflection, Mark takes readers inside the emotional and psychological effects of war, loss, hardship, and the long process of rebuilding a life afterward.
As the story unfolds, the book transitions beyond survival and into the pursuit of freedom, independence, and meaning. After immigrating to the United States, Mark enters the business world, eventually transitioning into real-estate investment and development. What begins as a story about war slowly evolves into a larger reflection on ambition, discipline, fear, entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and the invisible systems that shape people's lives.
Throughout the book, Mark questions many of the ideas society teaches about success, comfort, security, and happiness. He reflects on how hardship can either break a person or create unusual strength, clarity, and determination. He also examines the emotional cost of survival itself―the numbness, distance, and internal struggles that often remain hidden behind outward achievement.
Blending memoir, philosophy, psychology, survival, and entrepreneurship, NUMB is more than a story about war. It is a reflection on human resilience, emotional survival, and the search for identity and purpose in a world where many people unknowingly live trapped by fear, routine, and limitation.
This is a story about surviving destruction without losing the ability to build. About carrying trauma while still pursuing freedom. And about trying to understand what it truly means to feel alive after spending years simply trying to survive.

About the Author
After immigrating to the United States, Mark spent years working in the automotive industry, eventually helping lead one of the top-performing dealerships in Southern California. His experience in business, negotiation, customer psychology, and high-pressure decision-making later became the foundation for his transition into real-estate investment and development.
Driven by a deep belief in freedom, independence, and creating long-term value, Mark immersed himself in real estate, studying development, construction, city planning, and investment strategy. His work ranges from hillside luxury homes in Los Angeles to multifamily and modular development projects.
Through this book, Mark shares not only the realities of growing up during war, but also the emotional and psychological impact of survival, ambition, and rebuilding a life from nothing. His writing blends memoir, philosophy, resilience, entrepreneurship, and real-world experience into a deeply personal reflection on what it means to endure hardship while searching for purpose and freedom.
