Description

Explores and appreciates the small pleasures found in everyday life.

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 bring us solace and joy at little cost and effort.

This is a book to guide us to the best of life's small pleasures: the distinctive delight of holding a child's hand, having a warm bath or the joy of the evening sky. It is an intriguing, evocative mix of small pleasures to heighten the senses and return us to the world with new-found excitement and enthusiasm.

Small pleasures are points of access to the great themes of our lives. Every chapter puts one such moment of enjoyment under a magnifying glass to find out what's really going on and why it touches, moves and makes us smile.



Explores and appreciates the small pleasures found in everyday life.

Reviews

Reader Reviews:

'Small Pleasures is a book I read before bed and it helps cultivate appreciation and a generally happier life in noticing the little things. I would recommend it to all.'

'Such a lovely and unusual book summing up in a simple and unpretentious way the joys of things like driving late at night, a beloved's wrist, swimming in the sea... A book to dip into and delight in.'
