Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with
this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the
bestselling authors of Ikigai. 'Ikigai urges individuals to
simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them' (Marie
'' Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let
it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese
phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is
unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed
to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or
'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus
on the present moment. From this age-old concept comes a new kind
of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use
all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us
contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with
others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie. 'This is a
great little book to lift the spirits and remind us of the
importance of living in the 'now', not worrying about the past or
future.' - 5* Reader Review 'This book should act as a wakeup call.
Make each now a sacred moment. Pay attention! Make each moment
special!' - 5* Reader Review 'The authors of Ikigai have offered
another brief and masterful addition for those seeking out a
simpler and more fulfilling life.' - 5* Reader Review
If asked, who among us wouldn't say we were kind people? But
kindness is often manifested in feelings of pity or
sympathy--especially when others are watching--rather than in
deeds. And when it comes down to it, what good does mere feeling do
for the world? Your Next 24 Hours is about something much bigger--a
lifestyle of kindness, without thought of reciprocation, extended
toward every person in our lives, both friend and foe. Through
powerful true stories of kindness lived out, this book shows
readers the enormous difference they can make through small, doable
acts of kindness in their families, communities, workplaces,
schools, and churches. It shows how every encounter with another
person is an opportunity to be kind--and a chance to change our
world. Readers of Your Next 24 Hours will find deep satisfaction
and joy as they discover how they can be part of a revolution of
kindness that starts with them and reaches out through every person
their lives touch.
