I had this book for months and months before I finally decided to give it a shot and then declutter it to the street library. I expected it to be some lifestyle-design fluff without much depth and very obvious advice. And while it had some of that, it had quite a few gems that stopped me in my tracks. I ended up taking my time to read it and may not declutter it after all. Some chapters spoke to me (career, seizing moments) while some fell flat (relationships). Overall a worthwhile read and a wake up call in some areas. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The definitive guide that teaches you how to use the Japanese concept of wabi sabi to reshape every area of your life and find happiness right where you are. Fed up with the exhausting challenges of our fast-paced, consumption-driven existence, millions of people around the world are turning to timeless cultural traditions to find true meaning. In this transformative handbook, Beth Kempton introduces you to wabi sabi ("wah-bi sah-bi"), a captivating concept from Japanese aesthetics that offers a whole new way of looking at the world. With roots in Zen and the Way of Tea, wabi sabi teaches you to see beauty in imperfection, appreciate simplicity, and accept the transient nature of all things. It inspires you to simplify everything and concentrate on what truly matters. Filled with simple yet profound wisdom, Wabi Sabi will help you slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself. From honoring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a welcoming home, from reframing failure to aging with grace, Wabi Sabi teaches you find more joy and inspiration throughout your perfectly imperfect life.

However, unlike Andrew's book, which i seemed to remember focussed more on the actual aesthetics and the Zen side of Wabi Sabi, with Beth's book we look deeper into the lifestyle and world view of this wonderful concept.
In reading this book you soon become aware that Beth really has done a lot of homework, lifework, career work and academic work on Japan, and she does a wonderful job of bringing another take on the concept of Wabi Sabi to us non-Japanese readers who are always eager to learn more.
When it all boils down to it, it's essentially a self help book coming from a really interesting angle. There's plenty of food for thought in here for anyone looking to make their life even a little bit better tomorrow than it was yesterday. I'm fairly certain that everyone could find at least one thing in here to help improve their own lives in a really good way. ( )
