    An easy-to-read book, with nice messages, which were not unfamiliar to me and maybe didn't excite me so much, although this does not diminish the author and the messages he wants to convey. I have bought both of his books, but "Small Stories, Big Lessons" didn't impress me that much. However, it certainly doesn't mean that I don't find the deeper message valuable in both books, which focuses on our emotions and self-love. Something that I feel is missing from many people's lives, because it raises the issue of individual responsibility and active attitude, rather than living on "autopilot". Definitely, timing is needed for someone to feel the need for introspection and redefine the meaning of their life, where they will feel happy through their own desires and not from the artificial ones that society promotes (a large percentage of it).

    One of the same, everyday Stories, and what it added is that it has gay friends, and has no problem with homosexuality, liberated.

Description & Specifications

Many incidents have occurred in our lives, but very few have remained in our memory. We have met many people, but we remember very few. Some experiences remain indelible and imperishable over time, while others have been completely erased. Some people may have passed away, yet they remain within us as if we were with them just yesterday, and others, whom we met indeed yesterday, we have already forgotten.

Our emotional memory selects and keeps some events fresh that we experienced since we were still children. Why is that? What is the criterion for selection? Perhaps only the useful have been preserved? Could it be that this is the purpose of the school called life on earth? Should we perhaps investigate more thoroughly the events and the people that our memory has chosen to remember and see what we have to learn? Maybe these events and encounters are our great Teachers and our unique personal lessons, no matter how joyful or difficult they were?

These thoughts occupied me for many years, and to clarify them, I wrote a book with the stories and encounters that my memory chose to retain, from the moment I can remember myself until today. Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis, Melina Mercouri, Dimitris Horn, as well as... his mother, his grandmother, and his cousin make their passage, among others, in the 38 small, fortunate but not at all random stories of Thanasis Efthymiadis. Narratives that are intensely emotional, filled with kindness and humanity.
