'A truly transformative read' Sunday Times STYLE 'More than ever,
we need books like this' Jessica Seaton, Co-Founder of Toast and
author of Gather, Cook, Feast A whole new way of looking at the
world - and your life - inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdom.
Wabi sabi ("wah-bi sah-bi") is a captivating concept from Japanese
aesthetics, which helps us to see beauty in imperfection,
appreciate simplicity and accept the transient nature of all
things. With roots in zen and the way of tea, the timeless wisdom
of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we
search for new ways to approach life's challenges and seek meaning
beyond materialism. Wabi sabi is a refreshing antidote to our
fast-paced, consumption-driven world, which will encourage you to
slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself. It
will help you simplify everything, and concentrate on what really
matters. From honouring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a
welcoming home, from reframing failure to ageing with grace, wabi
sabi will teach you to find more joy and inspiration throughout
your perfectly imperfect life. This book is the definitive guide to
applying the principles of wabi sabi to transform every area of
your life, and finding happiness right where you are.
Are you burning brightly-or burning out-in your spiritual, mental,
physical, and emotional life? Do you find yourself being torn
between work and family? Between what you have to do and what you
want to do? In Burn Brightly Without Burning Out, Richard K. Biggs
examines twenty delicate contrasts we all face and urges readers to
gradually improve the balance between work and the other aspects of
life. Filled with examples and exercises, each brief chapter
reveals timeless truths, offers practical application tips, and
issues a call to action."I love the big message of this small
book," writes John Maxwell in the foreword. "Whether you're
struggling to find work/life balance, or seeking to better the
quality of life you now enjoy, Richard can help."
As technology increases your accessibility, it becomes harder to
mute the background noise of your life and receive God's guidance.
Joyce Meyer calls this OVERLOAD, when the demands of your busy life
become all-consuming and overwhelming. But to experience the joyful
life God has planned, you must make time to focus on His Word. Then
you'll receive His healing calmness and gain the strength to take
on life's challenges, from physical ailments to problems in
relationships. Through the practical advice and Scriptural wisdom
in this book, you'll learn how to unplug and free yourself from
burdens that weigh you down. You'll gain simple, effective tips for
better rest and stress management and discover the fulfilling life
you were meant to lead.
