Small Pleasures
Small Pleasures | The School Of Life
3 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
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.

This was a lovely read encouraging us to take notice of the small pleasures in life. I live for the ‘little things‘ and moments in life so this was right up my street. #nonfiction2024 (The God of Small Things)

Thanks again for this one Helen 😘

This was such a pleasant surprise. Each short chapter is about a thing or situation from which you can derive pleasure. It is about time spent alone, taking the time to think of the bigger picture, but also about enjoying and appreciating ordinary things you do or buy or eat. Very mindful and a very good one to start a four day weekend with! Thank you Helen for this special gift 🤍

TrishB And a lovely picture ❤️ 1y
