Description

– Why YES? – Because YES is the shortest and most powerful word. YES is the mother of all Creation. Everything starts with a YES. YES said God before He created the world. YES said your parents before bringing you to life. YES said our ancestors in 1821 before they started the Revolution. YES said Greece on October 28 before fighting for its freedom.

– In 1940, Greece said NO. – It said NO to the Italians, but YES to its freedom. Behind a big NO lies an even greater YES. One NO is enough not to lose. Only with a strong YES will you win. When you are between YES and NO, say YES. And say it today.

The bestselling author of THE GIFT & THE GIFT 2, Stefanos Xenakis, returns with a surprise book. Through 20 dialogues on concepts that we were not taught, the author invites us on a journey of exploration.

Deep, insightful, liberating, YES begins as a whisper and transforms into a hymn for life. YES!

This book is for you if:

  • ...you feel like you're "stuck" and need a dose of inspiration to take the next step.
  • ...you are searching for your own "why", the purpose that will give meaning to each day.
  • ...you want to learn how to say "YES" to opportunities, to your values, and to your dreams.
  • ...you need simple, powerful truths that you can immediately apply to your life.

What will help you improve?

  • Your mindset: It will help you cultivate a more positive, optimistic, and energetic attitude towards challenges.
  • Your self-esteem: It will remind you of your worth and your unlimited potential.
  • Your focus: It will motivate you to focus on what is truly important to you.
  • Your resilience: It will give you the strength to see mistakes as lessons and difficulties as opportunities.

The Method: What to Expect?

The book does not follow the classic structure of a self-improvement book. It consists of many short, independent story-lessons that are easy and quick to read. You can read it from beginning to end or open a random page each day for your daily dose of inspiration. Stefanos Xenakis' writing is simple, direct, as if a good friend is talking to you.

    You feel like you are in the chair of a psychologist, a small idea of psychotherapy I would say better. You read it wanting to continue without a break. You listen so much to the words of the book.

  • In the negatives, the writing style becomes tiresome at points (the style consists of questions from someone and answers from the author), although it was followed correctly, maybe in some chapters it should have been changed. In the positives now, he did his job, it makes you reconsider what you have and what you want to do in your life and gives you a smile of optimism.

    A truly magical book. It raises very contemporary concerns, in some points it is moving and almost devoid of clichés, which makes it unique. You can easily read it several times.

    Although I didn't expect it, the book made me think about things that I neglected due to our silly everyday routine. Also, it deeply moved me in the end. I highly recommend it to you without reservation!

    One of the best books I have ever read. It deals with values that the author has defined, from his first book, such as action, writing, psychotherapy, exercise, expressing gratitude, forgiveness, etc.
    It calls on the reader to take responsibility for their life, through taking initiatives and actions, in order to live the remaining years with more love, forgiveness, and gratitude.
    Lastly, I should not forget to mention that a central theme of the book is the encouragement to abstain from social media, so that the individual can fully focus on their goals and dreams.

    I do not read books due to lack of concentration. It is the first book I bought and with the two times I sat down to read it, I have already reached page 165. Particularly easy to read and it cleared many clouds above my head. I would even call it psychotherapy...
