Living Wabi Sabi: The True Beauty of Your Life

Featured by the New York Times as one of Tina Turner's favorite books of inspiration—a blend of Eastern wisdom, feng shui, and the simplicity movement.

Wabi Sabi is a Japanese expression meaning "wisdom in natural simplicity." Wabi Sabi helps us to see the beauty in imperfection, to discover that our unique flaws also can lead us to our greatest strengths and treasures.

No one is perfect—in fact, we all are perfectly imperfect. That is the paradoxical first lesson shared by Taro Gold in Living Wabi Sabi: The True Beauty of Your Life.

What is Wabi Sabi? A universal ideal of beauty, Wabi Sabi celebrates the basic, the unique, and the imperfect parts of our lives. Wabi Sabi is the comfortable joy you felt as a child, happily singing off key, creatively coloring outside the lines, and mispronouncing words with gusto.

On a deeper level, Wabi Sabi is the profound awareness of our oneness with all life and the environment. It includes a deep awareness of the choices we make each day, the power we have to accept or reject each moment of our lives, and to find value in every experience.

Living Wabi Sabi: The True Beauty of Your Life leads us to know true joy here and now, to reveal the most powerfully positive sides of imperfection. Illustrated with stunning yet simple watercolor art, it is a beautiful keepsake that is sure to become a beloved resource for wisdom in the joy of living.

"This beautiful gift book from Gold helps readers to see that imperfection is sometimes the source of the greatest insights and growth." —Publishers Weekly
