<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Be the best imperfect person you can be!</b> <p/><i>Wabi Sabi</i> is the Japanese Zen philosophy that all things are imperfect, unfinished and impermanent. It is a fresh way of seeing and moving through the world when our lives, literally and figuratively, feel cluttered. This book 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, objects and situations. <p/>In a simple and accessible style, <i>Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom in Imperfection</i> shows you how embracing imperfections and impermanence frees you to become a better person, 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 <i>Wabi Sabi</i> 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. <p/>In the foreword, Hector Garcia-- the bestselling author of <i>Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life</i>--introduces readers to the <i>Wabi Sabi</i> aesthetic and shares his personal <i>Wabi Sabi</i> journey: from being asked about it on live TV fifteen years ago (before he knew what it was) to today, when it permeates every aspect of his life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>We love this aesthetically pleasing book that looks at wabi sabi as philosophy, in art, and as a way of life.<b>--<i>Greatist</i></b><br><br>This very tranquil read encourages reflection and acceptance.<b> --<i>Library Journal</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nobuo Suzuki</b> was born in 1968 and has dedicated his life to studying approaches to Japanese philosophy and psychology.
