Synopsis

Sunday Times bestselling poet Donna Ashworth opens up as never before, blending poetry and prose with affirmations and visualizations.

‘Donna Ashworth’s words are sunshine for the soul. And this new collection is full of her best work.’ – MATT HAIG

The audiobook, narrated by Donna, features specially recorded introductions to the poems, offering extra context and bringing listeners closer to the inspiration behind them. There are also meditations, extended versions of the visualizations, and exclusive extra poems from Donna to help you deepen your practice and make joy a way of life.

The trick, I think, is to become easily pleased. To be astounded, every day, by the things that so beautifully surround us. To really see this miracle of life we are living. To find magic in the minutiae. Knowing that we will never cease to be wowed by this universe and its miraculous glimmers of hope, love and connection.

The Art of Being Easily Pleased is my most exciting project to date because it contains all of the whys and the hows.
I created this book for all the ‘overs’ out there and for anyone who never felt enough and yet somehow too much…
If you are an over-thinker, an over-feeler, an over-lover, an over-healer – you will know that this way of being does not flow. It takes work.

This is me showing my work.
Starting today, we find beauty in the ordinary. We remember who we are and we connect to one another and the energy that surrounds us all.
‘Be pleased, my friends, be pleased.

There is much to be pleased about.’
