An essential self-help book for women and men for living a stress-free, happier, and more passionate way of life through the Italian art of la dolce vita. Long before the Scandinavian ideas of hygge or lagom became mainstream, there was la dolce vita—or, the sweet life—the Italian philosophy of living a life full of pleasure and indulgence. Italians seem to know how to relish the simple, understated joys of life in a magical way that other nationalities are constantly trying to emulate. They view each moment as a gift and gracefully navigate obstacles by following a number of core tenets that are inherent to their Mediterranean culture. Living La Dolce Vita, written by Raeleen D'Agostino Mautner who has a PhD in psychology, shows you how to incorporate those elements of Italian living into your own life to feel less stressed and anxious, more focused and balanced, and happier with yourself and in your relationships with other people. You'll learn how to channel the sweet life through: The power of family The art of friendship The unabashed joy of romance Meals that nourish both body and soul Wealth beyond money A mental attitude that embraces life Communication and self-expression A deep sense of spirituality Living La Dolce Vita makes for a wonderful inspirational self-care gift for women who are looking to make long-lasting, positive changes to enrich their lives and their well-being.
