Short stories where Literature meets Psychology. Human stories in which existential questions of life are posed and human relationships are approached in their difficulty, complexity and beauty. A mirror of interpersonal relationships where man recognizes his true face and longs to create a meeting place with the other's truth. Despite human imperfection, despite the enormous limitations of existence, despite the taste of death we experience every day, we are potentially Heaven for each other.

Eleni Karagianni, with her clear and lively writing, invites us to accompany her on a personal journey, rich in emotional exchanges, concluding that we are made as humans to experience fullness in love and authentic sharing with others.

Through the pages of the book emerges a hymn about human relationships, the power of love in all its forms, companionship and faith in the power of life.

Heaven is the people.

Provided we accept decay and human imperfection.

On the condition that we give up the fantasy of a Paradise that is free, that has no effort, that has no personal responsibility. Because then Heaven is fragile and others are in danger of becoming Hell.

Individual Heaven does not exist.

The desire of meeting, the powerful moment of confrontation with the truth of the other.

The longing to create the unique meeting place between us.

Those that will be revealed in love: both the dark and the light parts.

The unique sense of completeness when we manage to understand each other, to empathize, to share experiences, to inspire and to be inspired... And to start all over again, again and again!

The precious hour of discord, when Heaven is withering, as endurance is tested and a broadening of the horizon of life is required.

Heaven is people and interpersonal relationships.

***
Eleni Karagianni is a psychiatrist, existential systemic psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor of psychotherapists. At the "Antistixis" Institute he experiences the paradox: As people search for a solution to their difficulties, they unsuspectingly unfold the beauty of their souls.

A source of inspiration is the eternal human desire, inexhaustible flame of life, as it confronts imperfection, deterioration and failure.
