Small Pleasures cover

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 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.

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.’
