Is there an art to living? What does it consist of? Is it easy or difficult? This collection of maxims gives an initial answer to those questions. It is only a first step, but an important one. The necessary basis to verify if we really want to live, or only vegetate. The wisdom contained in it makes us reflect, smile, accept: we begin to understand that there is a day to be born and a life to die, as a Chinese motto says; that awareness of existing and the will to grow are the foundations of our destiny; and above all that living is not beautiful, it is simply wonderful. Ask a question from the heart, then flip through the book and...it will answer you, often surprising you.
