Simplest Gift

The international bestseller--a collection of delightfully human stories that reveal the ways compassion and empathy can bring out the best in all of us.

"Every day is a Gift. Open it. Do not throw it away."

To many, success is wealth and a fancy title. For entrepreneur Stefanos Xenakis, it is about excelling at being a good person. It means greeting neighbors, smiling often, and savoring the beauty of everyday life.

In The Simplest Gift, he shares 101 short stories, each centered around a different lesson, from the benefits of generosity and frequent laughter, to the importance of rising early. Collectively, the stories deliver holistic self-help for body, mind, and soul.

Moving, humane, and delightful, profound in its simplicity, The Simplest Gift teaches that each of us has the potential to be great; all it takes is to be unreservedly and brilliantly humane.
