What if joy wasn’t something you chased, but something you tuned in to?
This beautiful, unique and exciting new collection from Sunday Times bestselling poet Donna Ashworth will help you rediscover delight in the everyday and choose positivity, peace and presence, even in chaos.
In a new format blending poems, essays, author-illustrated affirmations, personal stories, visualizations and meditative prompts, this book can be read from beginning to end or be opened at random to calm even the busiest of minds, shift perspective and remind you that joy is often just a moment away.
Through soulful reflections and honest insights from her own journey, Donna walks you through eight heart-led chapters which will encourage you to:
· Shift from perfectionism to presence · Find delight in the ordinary every day · Rewrite the script of your inner voices · Reclaim childlike wonder, even in difficult seasons · Choose joy on purpose – and let it change everything
The Art of Being Easily Pleased is a beautifully designed, giftable guide to living with acceptance, wonder, boldness and a heart open to the everyday miracles all around us.
‘You must master the art of delighting in the ordinary to survive this world and its chaos. Listen. Look. Be pleased, my friends, be pleased. There is much to be pleased about.’
