The Simplest Gift

‘Every day is a gift. Open it. Don’t throw it away.’

The international bestseller

The relentless pace of the working day. Endless, unconquerable to-do lists. A constant sense of distraction and isolation despite countless online connections. In our increasingly complex world, true contentment has never felt further from reach.

The Simplest Gift is an essential antidote for our times. Over the course of 100 stories – each centred around a unique lesson – Stefanos Xenakis shares the transformative outlook through which he has found purpose and meaning in life’s everyday moments. From rising early to sharing generously and laughing readily, Xenakis proves that joy can be found in the simplest and least expected places.

Humane, compassionate, and profound, this charming collection offers holistic guidance for the body, mind, and soul.
