A book by Efthymis Karagiorgos
My
Elephant
We all carry an "elephant" — a weight we avoid looking in the eye. 21 stories to help you stop fearing it.
What is My Elephant
A walk through the room
where the elephant lives
"My Elephant" is not a manual. It comes with no instructions. It does not try to convince you.
It is a space for thought, self-observation and dialogue. A community of people carrying their own "elephants" — and looking for a way to face them.
21 chapters, 21 elephants: Procrastination, Perfectionism, Money, Failure, Grief, Anger, Loneliness, the Love That Was Never Given, Time — and many more.
Every page, a step closer to recognising it. Not to drive it away — but to stop being afraid of it.
"This is not a book about self-improvement. It is a book about self-acceptance."— Efthymis Karagiorgos

The Author
Efthymis
Karagiorgos
"I did not know how a book is written. I did not even know whether I should write it. All I knew was that inside me there were words asking to be said — not to be heard, but to be set down."
My Elephant was written first of all for Efthymis himself — dedicated with love to his four sons, Christos, Panagiotis, Kyparissis and Alexandros.
Today he leaves it for us too — in case one of its pages reminds someone that they are not alone.
"Whatever you carry, you are not your weight. You are the strength that lifts it."
