This was the best time ever to read this book. I would listed to it on audio every time my mind got wrapped up with worry and anxiety which lately, has been often! Here are a few points that I took away but honestly, I could probably listen to this book on repeat for the next several weeks as a form of therapy. "You decide that you want to do something, pursue it as if your life depends on it." "Live how you want to die." Just delicious bite size pieces of Japanese wisdom. Loved it!
I'd like to give this book 3.5 stars. The quality of the entries is a bit scattershot. Some didn't really do it for me, some really almost require you to be in Japan, but others I wanted to keep going when the page ended.
It's worth reading from the library.

*2.75/3. I'm always a little skeptical of self-help books, but this interested me because it seemed grounded in everyday actions. While I did take something away from a few of the tenets, some did go over my head. I think this is a good pick up for anything looking to learn more about everyday actions that can help create a calmer and more structured living, while learning serving as an introduction to zen Buddhism as well. Overall, interesting, but didn't blow my mind.

If you liked the little book of Hygge, you'll like this book too.
They are very similar in their peaceful living advice. And whilst neither has any ground breaking advice, and alot may be things you have heard before, it's nice to have these things pointed out. Being told explicitly that you need to slow down and be more mindful can inspire you to do so.
And the design of the book is a lovely addition. Added to the enjoyment of reading it.
Really recommend this book to anyone who wants pointers or ideas on how to slow down and live more mindfully, and enjoys the aesthetics of books too.

El arte de vivir con sencillez, recopila prácticas diarias sugeridas por un monje Zen para permanecer centrados y vivir con alegría.
Aunque encontré varios recordatorios de buenas prácticas, siento que me faltó profundidad. Me hizo pensar inevitablemente en minfulness sobre la marcha de Jan Chozen Bays, también es muy breve pero lo considero una mejor propuesta!
