Grandi Domande · Big Questions
Five small books on the questions worth asking. The companion press to Grandi Momenti — what the bottles answer, written down.
The Five Books
— i. of v. —
An invitation to the conversation of why finding and keeping great love is so hard in this human experience. Written for the people who suspect there's something more on offer than what they've been handed.
Companion to Sentire — for new love.
— ii. of v. —
A conversation with yourself about work — started twenty years ago at a Starbucks in Beacon Hill, still going. On the difference between a job and a calling, and why it takes so long to figure out which is which.
Companion to Mattina — for a new chapter.
— iii. of v. —
A guide to fatherhood across all its stages — from the shock and awe of the first year to becoming grand papa. Written for the men who arrive at the door and find themselves entirely unprepared, and entirely changed.
Companion to Abbraccio — for becoming a parent.
— iv. of v. —
A journey through ritual, doubt, and sudden awakening — from Kuan Yin to a towering cross above the Aegean Sea. For anyone who has ever felt the presence of something large and quiet, and wondered what to do with it.
Companion to Giardino — for a new home.
— v. of v. —
On neuroscience, Einstein, Kairos, and the art of inhabiting time fully — rather than watching it disappear. For the people who have started to feel the weeks moving too quickly and want to know what to do about it.
Companion to Mare — for the great escape.
