'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 the beauty in imperfection, appreciate the 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.
