Best book of the year! Wabi sabi is a fascinating topic and it is explored in a practical way - I'll probably read this once a year to keep the takeaways fresh in my head :)

Title: Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life
Author: Beth Kempton
Genre: Self-help Book
This is a book about how we see, embrace and frame everything in our mind and heart. Beth Kempton, the author, who has been influenced by Japanese aesthetics and philosophy for over two decades, shares her wisdom that shifts in perspective and looking to the world through the lens of Wabi-Sabi can transform it into a more beautiful and gentle place, full of possibility and delight.
The author has expressed her ideas eloquently and having illustrated her experiences explicitly, makes it a well-written book. This book has been delivered with hardcover and thick pages. In this book, the author says
' The secret of wabi-sabi lies seeing the world not with the logical mind but with the feeling heart.’ The entire book revolves around this idea. Accepting everything as impermanent, imperfect, and incomplete, and valuing excellence over perfection can help you in living a simple, organized, and meaningful life. The author has also emphasized the importance of nature for our mental and physical well-being.
This book is life-altering and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to make life graceful. Although it is not a best-seller, it is an excellent self-help book. This book can make your life easy by nurturing relationships, reframing failures, soulful simplicity, and many more lessons; therefore it is worth reading.
I would give it a rating of 5/5

An easy to read introduction to the philosophy, you'll feel calmer afterwards.

I'm kinda confused at first whether the author is going to explain details on the concept of Wabi-Sabi, but rather, she takes the reader on a journey with her. Like Travelog. Perhaps because not all things can be explained by theoretical explanation but best be described throughout life exploration. Either way, this is a good book that breaks my scepticism on self-help/motivation book which mainly feels like focus on one cliche dimension.
