El regalo

The Gift is a collection of everyday stories in which Stefanos Xenakis invites us to reflect on the series of miracles that we all experience every day and that we often fail to notice. By reading all these stories, you will be able to immerse yourself in your inner world, weigh the decisions you have made, re-evaluate your way of thinking and value how you live. And you will not forget, not for a moment, that life is a gift. Unlike what most self-help books will make you desire, that is, an unattainable state of perpetual happiness for "having achieved" your dream, Xenakis invites us to fight for our happiness by being informed, kind and human people. Why waste our lives relentlessly competing to achieve "success", Xenakis asks us, when we can be happy by being good people? And what makes someone an exceptional person? Well, they are all those small gestures that we overlook on our way to "success": from greeting our neighbors with a kind smile to helping others, enjoying the small things of everyday life or delighting in the beauty of the world. The Gift is a moving, human and captivating book that shows us the greatness that is within each of us and that we can manifest as long as we are prepared to be, simply and openly, the best version of ourselves.
