As we continue celebrating International Book Month, today’s episode is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, a tale filled with adventure, but also with important reflections on life’s simplest pleasures. International Book Month is an opportunity to revisit such beloved classics and to reflect on how their timeless messages can resonate in our modern world.

J.R.R. Tolkien, born in 1892, is considered the father of modern fantasy literature. His works, particularly The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, have captivated readers for generations, offering stories rich in lore, history, and moral lessons. The Hobbit tells the story of Bilbo Baggins, a reluctant adventurer who learns the value of bravery, friendship, and selflessness along the way.

In this episode, we explore the importance of valuing the right things in life—time, companionship, and joy over material wealth or status. Tolkien’s writing serves as a reminder that true contentment often comes from the simple moments and connections we share with others. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the small but meaningful aspects of their own lives, finding gratitude and happiness in the everyday.
