'Live Lightly': Four Small Steps to Happiness. From Kindness to the Discovery of Spirituality.

A book to find your compass in the open sea of ​​existence.Live lightly', the latest editorial effort of the director of Don't waste, Antonio Galdo, but created with the advice and feedback of our entire community, is a journey to discover a way of being in the world that is capable. With simplicity, to break down those constraints that often prevent us from taking flight, and with the goal of achieving an ambitious goal: the lucid mirage of well-being and of happiness.

LIVE LIGHTLY ANTONIO GALDO

The lifestyle described in 'Live lightly' is the same one around which the Non sprecare community has coalesced, and which, over the years, through mutual exchange, has contributed to the creation of a veritable manifesto. Specifically, the director, starting from fragments of his own biography, has outlined four key points (in as many chapters) from which to launch a 'gentle' rebellion, implemented through small but enormously valuable daily gestures. The first is: kindness, which is expressed through sharing, listening, and physical and emotional well-being. Because alongside the essential virtual dimension in which we are immersed, we must find the time to rediscover ancient gestures such as kiss, the hug and the caress, which we often guiltily forget.

The second has to do with the environment that hosts us because, according to Galdo, it is essential to start enjoying the spaces of nature again, "learning to move and nourish ourselves, without obsessions, caring for our common home as our own, and not that of unknown others, cultivating the values ​​of civic sense and urbanity". And therefore walk, to discover, to immerse ourselves again in the atmospheres that are the basis of our culture.

A NEW WAY TO REBEL

The third, essential, small gesture to put into practice to find the coordinates in the middle of the sea of ​​life is the silence, also understood as rest. The director, in fact, questions whether each of us belongs to the "society of tiredness", the product of an increasingly global and competitive world. This is why he invites us to rebellion To reclaim slowness, through which we can once again savor the pleasures of a lighthearted life. A book, a journey, a hearty chat with others, but also with ourselves.

The last key point of 'Live lightly' goes around the'importance of doubt, the only true antidote to the tendency to build fragile castles of certainties. To achieve the long-awaited happiness, in fact, it is necessary to tear down the walls of these fortresses, accepting our own fallibility and rejecting the delusions of omnipotence that contemporary society often fills our ears with.

The important thing is to always keep track of those cardinal points that can be very useful in completing the most important mission: live our existence to the fullest.
