The School of Life Press - Small Pleasures

This incredible little book from the School of Life is a reflection upon those small pleasures that we may sometimes overlook...a good book, a midnight walk, being tired after a productive day.

So often, we exhaust ourselves and the planet in a search for very large pleasures - while all around us lies a wealth of small pleasures, which - if only we paid more attention, could daily bring us solace and joy at little cost and effort. But we need some encouragement to focus our gaze.

This is a book to guide us to the best of life's small pleasures: everything from the distinctive delight of holding a child's hand to the enjoyment of disagreeing with someone, to the joy of the evening sky; an intriguing, evocative mix of small pleasures that will heighten our senses and return us to the world with new-found excitement and enthusiasm.

A perfect reminder of the beauty that is to be found in small moments, this is a book that is totally in line with our own ethos and a must-have for all.
