Ten Lanterns: Light Your Way—Lighten Your Pain by Evagoras Evagorou is a motivational memoir and self-help book that traces the author's journey to his personal transformation through decades of experiential learning. Evagorou uses a train journey as a metaphor, recounting his encounters with illuminating individuals who guided him during his darkest moments. In a heartfelt narrative and with impactful messages, the book explores themes of loss, healing, and redemption, climaxing with the author's discovery of the "most precious thing" in the world. Beyond being a personal narrative, the book serves as a spiritual map with hundreds of pages of valuable insight and practices for readers seeking personal fulfillment and happiness. With its blend of autobiography and wisdom, the book is a testament to the power of resilience and self-discovery.
Perhaps because once I was lost in a huge city at night, in a country whose language I did not speak, an elderly man closed his newsstand to walk me to the train station, and that is why I was most moved by a part where Evagoras Evagorou portrays a humble and wise individual who selflessly shares their philosophy, shutting down their cookhouse to help those suffering on the streets, demonstrating their kindness and desire to alleviate others' hardships. Ten Lanterns: Light Your Way—Lighten Your Pain is a well-written and engrossing book in which Evagorou reaches out with a heartfelt desire to share his spiritual wealth and offer guidance to the reader, and encourage them to embrace kindness, love, and self-reflection to lead a fulfilling life. His words are clear, moving, and universal in their goal of creating a connection and inspiring action for positive change. Very highly recommended.
