Summary
A whole new way of looking at the world - and your life - inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdom。
Wabi sabi （"wah-bi sah-bi"） is a captivating concept from Japanese aesthetics， which helps us to see beauty in imperfection， appreciate simplicity and accept the transient nature of all things。 With roots in Zen and the Way of Tea， the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life， as we search for new ways to approach life's challenges and seek meaning beyond materialism。
Wabi sabi is a refreshing antidote to our fast-paced， consumption-driven world， which will encourage you to slow down， reconnect with nature， and be gentler on yourself。 It will help you simplify everything， and concentrate on what really matters。
From honouring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a welcoming home， from reframing failure to ageing with grace， wabi sabi will teach you find more joy and inspiration throughout your perfectly imperfect life。
This book is the definitive guide to applying the principles of wabi sabi to transform every area of your life， and finding happiness right where you are。

Good book to read when you are in a messy situation; when you can't figure out anything。 Just take a pause and be with youself。 Good book to read when you are in a messy situation; when you can't figure out anything。 Just take a pause and be with youself。 。。。more

I almost gave up on this book and probably should have。 It really didn’t impact me in any way。 I like simple living books but maybe I need to give up reading them because I’ve already reached that state of enlightenment。 ;） here’s a quote—“Put simply， wabi sabi gives you permission to be yourself。 It encourages you to do your best but not make yourself ill in pursuit of an unattainable goal of perfection。 It gently motions you to relax， slow down and enjoy your life。 And it shows you that beauty I almost gave up on this book and probably should have。 It really didn’t impact me in any way。 I like simple living books but maybe I need to give up reading them because I’ve already reached that state of enlightenment。 ;） here’s a quote—“Put simply， wabi sabi gives you permission to be yourself。 It encourages you to do your best but not make yourself ill in pursuit of an unattainable goal of perfection。 It gently motions you to relax， slow down and enjoy your life。 And it shows you that beauty can be found in the most unlikely of places， making every day a doorway to delight。” ― Beth Kempton， Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life 。。。more

I found this book when I was experiencing burnout at work。 I’m glad the book come into my life at the right moment teaching me about wabi sabi - how to incorporate zen and accept the imperfections in my life。 I would recommend this to those friends who work in fast paced work-life or in search of purpose bigger than oneself。

This book is both powerful and beautiful。 I listened to it in audiobook form， but I am going to get a hard copy to use in my day to day life。 It is a beautiful self help book， filled with advice on how to appreciate life and what you have， but also to go for the goals you long to achieve。

Inspirational。 Wabi Sabi describes the art of accepting and loving soulful simplicity and how to implement it in your daily life。 I personally love the concept of Wabi Sabi， and this book captured the idea of it really well。

There are some great nuggets in here。 I loved most of the stories about the only-in-Japan type things and learning the different Japanese words and definitions。Unfortunately I had to skim probably about half the book as it was just too self-helpy and trite for me， but overall a lovely book that I don’t regret reading at all。

I expected some deeper description of wabi sabi itself but instead I got how to change my career etc。 After first part of the book it was pretty much the same， very repetitive and boring。 I love Japan and I read many books about this country but this was at the end a bit weaker。 Though I like the stories of the author when she describes somebody's experience etc。 Maybe nice reading for beginner who does not know anything about Japan。 I had a feeling the book is completely missing some concept an I expected some deeper description of wabi sabi itself but instead I got how to change my career etc。 After first part of the book it was pretty much the same， very repetitive and boring。 I love Japan and I read many books about this country but this was at the end a bit weaker。 Though I like the stories of the author when she describes somebody's experience etc。 Maybe nice reading for beginner who does not know anything about Japan。 I had a feeling the book is completely missing some concept and clear structure。 。。。more

This book looks at celebrating the imperfections in life and looks at this Japanese wisdom and applies it to our daily life。 There are questions with each chapter for further thinking and I found the book - filled with ideas and stories - to be calming and uplifting。 The only reason this book is a 4。5 star read for me， rather than a 5 star read is chapter 2。 The bit about Japanese aesthetics and furnishings was not for me。 The rest of the book was wonderful。

Easy read， nothing too strenuous。 Most of the book content is ‘I， I， I， I’ the author talks a lot about herself。 Although interesting at the start， the book very much becomes the usual type of ‘self help’ book with the same old crap。 The subject feels well researched but， reads all over the place。
