A fresh way of seeing and moving through the world when our lives, literally and figuratively, feel cluttered. Wabi Sabi is the Japanese Zen philosophy that all things are imperfect, unfinished and impermanent.
Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom in Imperfection shows us how to apply this concept in the context of daily life and offers ideas on how to see it, embrace it and incorporate it into everyday thoughts and objects.
In a simple and accessible style, this book shows you how embracing imperfections and impermanence frees you to be better, by reevaluating what better means--what really matters and what you truly want. A few simple challenges and exercises encourage you to get creative--such as a
Wabi Sabi diary, a haiku exercise and a make art challenge--plus some tips on minimizing and decluttering (mentally and physically) for a simpler life. It allows you to mindfully make space in your head, home and with your time.
A foreword by Hector Garcia, the bestselling author of
Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, introduces readers to the
Wabi Sabi aesthetic and how it can lead you to your best and happiest self. Garcia shares his own
Wabi Sabi journey--from being asked about it on live TV fifteen years ago (before he knew what it was), through to today, when it permeates every aspect of his life.
