About this listen

Everything around us mirrors our inner world. We can use this connection to improve ourselves starting from our home.

What is wabi-sabi?

Basically, wabi-sabi is the marriage of the Japanese wabi, humble importance, and sabi, which hints excellence in the regular movement of time. Together, the expression welcomes us to save our quest for flawlessness and figure out how to see the value in the straightforward, unaffected excellence of things as they are. Wabi-sabi can be found in the profound breaks of an enduring pine table. It is swap meets, wildflowers, and cobblestones. Personally attached to Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi is a style that invites solace and an unpretentious otherworldliness into the home. It's anything but an embellishing style, fundamentally, yet a mentality. To establish a genuine wabi-sabi climate, one must gradually strip away overabundance and figure out how to be fulfilled living at the same time.

Wabi-Sabi Home describes the rich history of this arising pattern in home plans and uncovers endless ways of bringing wabi-sabi components into contemporary residing spaces, including tips for effortlessly designing with rescued materials and classic goods, exhortation on the most proficient method to rediscover the lost delight of handmaking family things (or supporting craftsmen who do), and basic answers for clearing mess and obstructing commotion (even with a companion, kids, and no storeroom space).

The method, explained in a simple and intuitive way, aims to give practical advice to improve the fundamental areas of one's existence:

  • Health
  • Relations
  • Prosperity

Every aspect of our life is uniquely linked to the space that hosts us and to the way we live it. Taking care of it and becoming fully aware of it is essential to achieve the happiness that each of us deserves.

Thank you Beth for making the audiobook version if Wabi Sabi . I have just finished my first listen and I’m now on my second. I plan to answer the questions at the end of each chapter. The book contains clear and simple instructions for living a wonderful life but in no way does it make you feel not good enough or does it put you under pressure . Self help at it’s best .

Such a beautiful , helpful book

I read this book originally for research on Buddhism and the concept of wabi-sabi. I was pleasantly surprised by how interested I became in the subject and find myself inclined to pursue a life of wabi-sabi. Great writing and explanations!

Ideal Audiobook Useful and helpful

I bought the audio book because I enjoy almost all things Japanese, but didn't know much about this subject. The center of my interest has always been Zen Buddhism and the martial arts.

I love it and suggest it.

I came to this audio book with absolutely zero knowledge of Japan, so all the contents are fascinating to me insomuch as it feels like exploring the history of a near alien civilization from my perspective.

Very happy to listen this great book.
