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 .

A simple explanation of an elusive subject. This is a beautiful book, with a clever construct of a cat named Wabi Sabi on an adventure to gain an understanding of its name, in the process providing the hearer insight into this compelling world view philosophy.

Wonderful book!
