Description
For readers of The Book of Delights and What I Know For Sure, a bite-size invitation to disrupt the hustle and rediscover joy and wonder in our daily lives
For decades, consumerism has espoused the same message: money equals success, and if you aren’t happy, you aren’t shopping in the right store. Now, with a new cover and updated content for today's challenges, The Best Things in Life Aren't Things offers practical guidance for those seeking something beyond the grind.
Self-proclaimed warrior for optimism Joann Davis encourages us to cultivate "life support" in 4 key areas: words, thoughts, experiences, and deeds. Borrowing from ancient and contemporary wisdom, this new edition inspires thoughtful introspection through:
- timeless essays on meaning, plus 3 new bite-size sections
- reflection questions like "Will you measure success by what you have or how you live?"
- a directory of small wonders that bring profound joy
In our fast-paced world, this little book is a powerful reminder of the intrinsic truths we've been trained to overlook. It invites us to explore all that life has to offer—and what we can give in return.
