A Little Book of Japanese Contentments: Ikigai, Forest Bathing, Wabi-sabi, and More | Erin Niimi Longhurst

4 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 1 to read

With the longest healthy life spans in the world, Japanese people understand the art of living well. This beautiful book distills traditional Japanese philosophies intrinsic to wellbeing, providing easy-to-follow exercises to inspire those who want to live a happier, more balanced life. With sections on kokoro (heart and mind) and karada (body), plus a guide on how to form and nurture good habits, the book includes entries on ikigai (living with purpose), wabi-sabi (the beauty of imperfection and impermanence), shinrinyoku (forest bathing), ikebana (the art of flower arranging), and much more. Richly illustrated, A Little Book of Japanese Contentments is a warm invitation to cultivate contentment in everyday life.

The ideas in this book are stunning in their simplicity.
I‘ve lived in Asia for 10 years now, and you see variations of this idea across the continent. #Thaismile
