Description

A Japanese-inspired guide to living a happier, more fulfilled life. This book draws lessons from Japanese culture and ancient philosophy to help you make the most of each day. It explores ikigai (your purpose) and values such as wabi-sabi and kintsugi, emphasizing a holistic approach to life. The book is structured around two themes—Kokoro (heart and mind) and Karada (body). In Kokoro you learn about ikigai and its role in work and personal passions. Wabi-sabi and kintsugi are highlighted as philosophies that value imperfection and balance. The second part offers practical steps for incorporating these ideas into daily life, from forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) and nature connection to ikebana and bento-style routines. With recipes, lifestyle tips, and habit-building guidance, the final section helps you establish new routines. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book by Erin Niimi Longhurst is a thoughtful guide to mindful living.
