An invitation to slow down and savor the world around us more fully and intentionally

Most of us are living on auto-pilot, rushing from meeting to meeting, glued to our phones, neglecting to tend to our inner selves but craving something more. How to Live a Beautiful Life is a call to refocus and reengage with the world around us by savoring the details of our lives with thought and intention. 

In this deeply personal guide, Rajiv Surendra shares his method of living beautifully by simply refining the tasks that make up our everyday lives. From showering by candlelight and using the good plates for every meal (even if it’s just grilled cheese), to marveling at the sounds and sight of a thunderstorm and occasionally sending a hand-written letter, Surendra gently shows readers how to cultivate an internal and individual relationship with beauty that will transform the most ordinary day into something profound.

Life is not easy for any of us, but in these pages, you’ll find simple ways to make living less of a task and more of an experience of pleasure and grace.
