Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie '' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie. 'This is a great little book to lift the spirits and remind us of the importance of living in the 'now', not worrying about the past or future.' - 5* Reader Review 'This book should act as a wakeup call. Make each now a sacred moment. Pay attention! Make each moment special!' - 5* Reader Review 'The authors of Ikigai have offered another brief and masterful addition for those seeking out a simpler and more fulfilling life.' - 5* Reader Review

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. 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. In a simple and accessible style, Wabi Sabi: The Wisdom in Imperfection 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 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 co-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 personal 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.

Par les auteurs du best-seller sur l'Ikigai, une initiation à l'art japonais de l'ichigo ichie, véritable philosophie de vie pour profiter de chaque moment et savourer l'instant présent. Un fou rire partagé, un moment de complicité, un champ de blé ondoyant sous la brise, le goût d'un thé fumant... chaque instant est magique, chaque instant est unique. C'est toute la philosophie de l'ichigo ichie, expression qui signifie littéralement " ce que nous sommes en train de vivre maintenant ne se reproduira plus jamais de la même manière ". Né sous la plume d'un grand maître de thé du XVIe siècle, l'ichigo ichie trouve ses origines dans le bouddhisme zen. Vivre avec ichigo ichie, c'est prendre conscience de la fugacité des choses, savoir saisir ces instants uniques qui peuvent irradier le reste de notre vie et savourer pleinement le moment présent qui s'offre à nous. Deux spécialistes du Japon nous initient à l'ichigo ichie en croisant les enseignements de la philosophie zen avec les outils issus de la psychologie contemporaine. A travers le rituel de la cérémonie du thé (ou cérémonie de l'attention), des exercices de pleine de conscience et de méditation ou encore des jeux sensoriels (l'écoute active, la gymnastique des yeux, le journal des odeurs...), ils nous livrent cet art de cultiver la joie au quotidien et de vivre en pleine conscience pour faire de chaque instant le meilleur de notre vie.

Každý okamih v našom živote nastane iba raz, a ak ho necháme vykĺznuť, stratíme ho navždy – o to ide v myšlienke zachytenej japonskou frázou ichigo ichie (vyslovuje sa iči-go iči-a). Ako zdokonaliť túto schopnosť sa dozvieme v jednoduchom manuáli, praktickom a zároveň poetickom, aby sme sa naučili, ako urobiť každú chvíľu vzácnou a naučiť sa tajomstvá japonského „carpe diem“. Je to koncept, ktorý sa môže zdať triviálny, ľahko naň však zabúdame popri povinnostiach a obavách každodenného života. V dobe, ktorá oslavuje rýchlosť a spotrebu, je táto kniha v rozpore so súčasnosťou. Nabáda nás, aby sme zdvihli nohu z pedála a naučili sa žiť život zameraný na prítomnosť, naučili sa najprv počúvať seba a potom ostatných. Aby sme sa snažili hľadať mier za zvukmi pozadia, ktoré nás každý deň unavujú a každú náladu zredukujú, učia sa tajomstvá japonského kapra. Praktizovaním Ichigo-ichie sa budeme cítiť spokojnejší a šťastnejší, prestaneme myslieť na balast minulosti a nebudeme nás trápiť budúcnosť tým, že sa naučíme plne prežívať prítomnosť. Na konci cesty sa staneme lovcami okamihov, budeme ich môcť chytiť za letu a užívať si ich pre to, aké sú: jedinečné a neopakovateľné.
