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 bring us solace and joy at little cost and effort.

Small Pleasures is a book to guide us to the best of life's small pleasures: the distinctive delight of holding a child's hand, having a warm bath, or the joy of the evening sky. It is an intriguing, evocative mix of small pleasures to heighten the senses and return us to the world with newfound excitement and enthusiasm.

Small pleasures are points of access to the great themes of our lives. Every chapter puts one such moment of enjoyment under a magnifying glass to find out what's really going on and why it touches, moves, and makes us smile.
