Into the book
Now these three remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love.
--- p.13
Love is the only true universal language that allows us to speak Chinese or Indian dialects.
If you ever get there, you will be understood by everyone through the silent eloquence of love.
--- p.25
Just as a prism reveals the rainbow of colors of light, he shows us the rainbow of love.
What are those elements? Virtues we can hear about every day and practice in every moment of our lives.
--- pp.29-30
The best gifts reflect this breath.
It is not a gift in itself, but a gift created by the words and actions that make up our ordinary days.
--- p.34
Because there is no light more glorious than the light that love radiates.
“Love never fades away.”
Love is the true energy of life.
--- p.40
Never miss an opportunity to bring joy.
(…) “I only live once in this world.
So, whatever good you can do or whatever kindness you can show to someone, do it right now.
Don't procrastinate or neglect it.
“Because I will never pass this way again.”
--- p.42
Accept love.
Remember.
This is a matter of life and death.
If I don't love myself, there's no point in standing here talking about love.
(…)
In other words, it is better not to live than not to love.
It is better not to live than not to love.
--- p.66
Light is greater than the sum of its components.
Because light is something that sparkles in the universe.
And love is much greater than the sum of its parts.
Because love is alive, pulsating, and divine.
--- p.83
When all currencies of all nations become worthless and worthless, love will be the only currency still accepted in the universe.
--- p.101
Love is life.
Love never fades, and as long as love exists, life also does not fade.

Publisher's Review
“The best gift is love
“It comes from ordinary words and actions.”
"Love Guide" to Make Everyday Life More Special
Paulo Coelho is called the 'alchemist of the soul' for transforming readers' lives with the magical sentences contained in numerous works such as 'The Alchemist', 'The Pilgrim', and 'The Archer'.
His writing serves as a 'North Star' that provides coordinates for those who have lost their direction in life and are wandering.
In 『The Best Gift』, it is shown to us that all understanding and interest between people begins with ‘love.’
Love is the “only universal language” that allows us to communicate even when we speak different languages, and only through its “silent eloquence” can we achieve true understanding.
Also, just as light passes through a prism and is refracted into seven colors, it unfolds the nine elements that make up the rainbow of love.
Patience, gentleness, generosity, humility, courtesy, altruism, good nature, honesty, truthfulness.
It emphasizes that these simple virtues, perfected through everyday words and actions, are the most essential elements that make up the greatest gift called 'love.'
This virtue of love is the only way to enrich our lives and give them value.
“To love abundantly is to live abundantly.”
The positive 'energy of love' that sustains life
The reason we must “love ourselves and love everyone” is because the “energy of life” springs from the emotion of love.
Only love becomes the point of contact that connects 'me' and 'me', 'me' and 'others', and through that point of contact called 'understanding', a positive expectation for living tomorrow is born.
Therefore, Paulo Coelho says that we must place 'love' above all other important values in the world.
“When all the currencies of all nations become worthless and worthless, love will be the only currency still accepted in the universe.”
But 'love' is not an emotion that arises spontaneously.
Just as the only secret to “making a great artist, a great writer, a great musician” is “practice,” love also requires constant training of the soul.
Because only these efforts can “transform us into true beings” who can truly understand and love ourselves and others.
Through the positive changes that come from that love, our lives will become more valuable and richer in meaning.
To love passionately is to live passionately.
Paulo Coelho has written sentences filled with profound thoughts that permeate life, including the fundamental meaning and importance of love, as well as the attitude, posture, and mindset needed to realize love in life.
Therefore, this book will provide readers with a valuable experience that will change their values in life and renew their attitude toward the world.
In addition, the illustrations of 'Four Seasons Flower Garden' by Kim Yi-rang, which are included with the text, add to the emotion of 'the best gift'.
Author's Note
No matter what we believe, love exists in all forms.
It is the treasure of the soul and the secret of life.
It is the greatest gift of our lives.
“It comes from ordinary words and actions.”
