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, and it pervades all aspects of life from the creative to the spiritual. Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom in Imperfection presents this concept in the context of daily life and offers ideas on where to find it and how to see it, embrace it and incorporate it into everyday thoughts and actions.
In a simple and accessible style, this book shows you how embracing imperfections and impermanence frees you to try to be better, in a way that reevaluates what “better” means, what really matters and what you truly want. A few simple challenges and exercises 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, encourage you to get creative. 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. Hector 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.
