Wabi sabi - Japonská moudrost pro dokonale nedokonalý život – Kempton Beth (2020)

Here and now! A completely new perspective on our lives and the world around us, inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdom. Wabi sabi is a Japanese phrase expressing the beauty of the simple, imperfect, and changing over time. In our lives filled with the pursuit of career, wealth, or unusual experiences, we often overlook what true happiness consists of. A smile given to us by a stranger on the street; snowflakes, one by one, quietly falling to the ground; the aroma of herbal tea from an old, worn kettle. Wabi sabi is the Japanese notion of beauty in the transience of the moment, harmony with nature, and joy in simple, unpretentious things. Let’s embark on a journey to Japan with Beth Kempton. We will learn about the history of the tea ceremony, visit temples, gardens, and artisan workshops, peek over the shoulder of a calligraphy master, immerse ourselves in a hot spring, and enjoy a forest bath. We will embrace the Japanese art of accepting ourselves and our loved ones with all their imperfections, elevate the journey to the goal, and experience happiness right here and now. Individual chapters focus on living, the relationship with nature, accepting mistakes and negative feelings, interpersonal relationships, finding fulfilling work, and fully experiencing the present moments.
