Living in modern-day life’s frenzied rhythm, worn-down due to daily pressures, we are doomed to constantly forget the essence-meaning of our existence. We constantly avoid looking our truth in the eye, skating over questions like “who am I?”, “how do I love?”, “am I living my life the way I want?”. To answer such questions, we must bring our frenetic course to a halt and focus on ourselves. This is the only way to go if we wish to learn to live in the moment and acquire mindfulness, awareness and, by extension, resistance to whatever is toxic for us. We simply have to… take a breathing break and focus on our inner world. The book you’re holding was written by a remarkable scientist, work partner, and dear friend of mine, Panos Platritis, precisely to remind us that in the hubbub of life, it makes no sense to categorize any situation into ideal or not ideal ones. The only worthy thing is to give each situation the chance to generously gift us her “beauty.” So, through well-written, brief yet concise phrases, we find the essence of the aim of our existence.
