The ancient philosophy of wabi-sabi, which in Japanese means "the beauty of imperfection," is an authentic, personal, and nature-aligned way to take care of ourselves, regain inner harmony, and evolve. Just as a hand-crafted clay cup shows its flaws and is considered in Japan, even when cracked, more beautiful and valuable than a perfect, symmetrical, and uniform one, the philosophy of wabi-sabi focuses on three characteristics of nature:

• Nothing is perfect (and that's better)
• Nothing is complete (we are always evolving)
• Nothing is eternal (the ephemeral nature of things and people is what gives them value)

Based on these principles, Nobuo Suzuki's revealing book shows us how the wisdom of wabi-sabi can radically change our lives in all areas, making us more sensitive to beauty and more creative. In other words, more human and happier.
