Conversing with Cavafy
Conversing with Cavafy explores themes that are central to the human condition and connects them with the poems of C.P. Cavafy and other writers and philosophers to elucidate important ideas pertaining to the philosophy of everyday life. What is our life’s main highway, and how is it related to our daily unremarkable set of chores and routines? How do we deal with the important junctures on our life’s-path? How can we change negative habits that keep us in destructive loops? What is the Creative Life, and how do we tap into it? With such questions about life and the search for meaning abounding, it is ever more important to find inspiration from a unique voice.
Conversing with Cavafy is a companion guide on the journey of becoming ourselves, a personal growth and self-improvement book that addresses life’s big questions. Hadjicostis draws inspiration from his extended life experiences, from poetry, psychology, philosophy, and more, and encourages us to reflect on our life in order to enrich it by making it more creative and meaningful.
Written in a simple and straightforward manner, Hadjicostis’s original explorations offer a different perspective on how to best manage life’s challenges and live more consciously, purposefully, and creatively.
Conversing with Cavafy is available at Amazon.com and by request, at your local bookstore.
Reviews
Conversing with Cavafy’ is very insightful and it stirred me deeply. The book is a treasure that transcends our separate preoccupations to recall each of us to the urgent powers that drive mind and body, and illumines with passion and perplexity the intersection of personal fate and destiny. I am grateful for the genius of Cavafy, and the gift of Hadjicostis’s depth of insight, to bring us to reconsider our own brief transit on this spinning sphere.
An engrossing book, ‘Conversing with Cavafy’ takes us on a discerning and compassionate walk through the human condition while gently helping us give full expression to the best part of our natures. Hadjicostis elucidates our deepest longings and points out the expected challenges we will encounter in our efforts to ‘inhabit the main highway’ of our lives. Read this book to come home to yourself.
Nicos Hadjicostis reveals his soul of a philosopher as he expresses his reflections from years of journeying throughout the world and from his multidisciplinary studies. His writing style in ‘Conversing with Cavafy’ conveys his thoughts so easefully that it seems like he is chatting with us in person…so that we find that we cannot help but feel inspired to relate his ideas and insights to our own lives.
