Publisher's summary

Everything around us mirrors our inner world. We can use this connection to improve ourselves starting from our home.

What is wabi-sabi?

Basically, wabi-sabi is the marriage of the Japanese wabi, humble importance, and sabi, which hints excellence in the regular movement of time. Together, the expression welcomes us to save our quest for flawlessness and figure out how to see the value in the straightforward, unaffected excellence of things as they are. Wabi-sabi can be found in the profound breaks of an enduring pine table. It is swap meets, wildflowers, and cobblestones. Personally attached to Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi is a style that invites solace and an unpretentious otherworldliness into the home. It's anything but an embellishing style, fundamentally, yet a mentality. To establish a genuine wabi-sabi climate, one must gradually strip away overabundance and figure out how to be fulfilled living at the same time.

Wabi-Sabi Home describes the rich history of this arising pattern in home plans and uncovers endless ways of bringing wabi-sabi components into contemporary residing spaces, including tips for effortlessly designing with rescued materials and classic goods, exhortation on the most proficient method to rediscover the lost delight of handmaking family things (or supporting craftsmen who do), and basic answers for clearing mess and obstructing commotion (even with a companion, kids, and no storeroom space).

The method, explained in a simple and intuitive way, aims to give practical advice to improve the fundamental areas of one's existence:

• Health
• Relations
• Prosperity

Every aspect of our life is uniquely linked to the space that hosts us and to the way we live it. Taking care of it and becoming fully aware of it is essential to achieve the happiness that each of us deserves.

Ideal Audiobook Useful and helpful

The author Andrew Juniper set himself a daunting task in his endeavor to explain a virtually inexplicable philosophy which has its origins steeped on oriental antiquity.

Very happy to listen this great book.

This is my introduction to Wabi Sabi. It is a visually beautiful audio book with beautiful words that I will keep out and revisit often. Wabi Sabi is a calming philosophy advocating embracing simplicity, the imperfect, and the impermanent.

This audible brought awesome achievements

This audio book is a joy - gorgeous photos, honest reflections, and great tips on ways in incorporate different mindsets into your lifestyle, home, etc. Highly recommended, very authentic listen.

Beautiful

Absolutely loved this book. I wish with all my heart I could afford to go to Japan. This, as with so much of Japanese culture is as rich as it is fascinating.

An extraordinarily wonderful book

Beautifully read, elegantly constructed, memorable, and so full of “wow” moments that I had to keep pausing to think about things and write them down. I urge everyone to read (listen) to this book, it WILL change your life!

Wonderful book!

A simple explanation of an elusive subject. This is a beautiful book, with a clever construct of a cat named Wabi Sabi on an adventure to gain an understanding of its name, in the process providing the hearer insight into this compelling world view philosophy.

Such a beautiful , helpful book

Thank you Beth for making the audiobook version if Wabi Sabi . I have just finished my first listen and I’m now on my second. I plan to answer the questions at the end of each chapter. The book contains clear and simple instructions for living a wonderful life but in no way does it make you feel not good enough or does it put you under pressure . Self help at it’s best .

The content of this audio book was amazing.

This is my introduction to Wabi Sabi. It is a visually beautiful audio book with beautiful words that I will keep out and revisit often. Wabi Sabi is a calming philosophy advocating embracing simplicity, the imperfect, and the impermanent.

A perfect gift

I have bought at least 10 of these beautifully written, beautifully illustrated books over the years to give as special gifts - mainly to adults. They have always been well received.

This is a massive audible about this topic.

I liked this audio book so much that I purchased another copy for our local library. I was very surprised that it could not be found in our library system.
