Wabi Sabi Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life Beth Kempton 9780062905154 Books Reviews

• The book really is beautiful and makes a great gift ( I ordered a few extra copies to gift to friends ) Most importantly it is a truly pleasurable read. Beth takes you on parts of her own fascinating journey with Japan as she shares the true wisdom of Wabi Sabi. As with Beth's other wonderful book - Freedom Seeker - I needed a notepad nearby to write down all of the inspiring but thankfully practical advice for living a perfectly imperfect life!
• Loved this fantastic book - starting with the beautiful cover and then turning the luxurious thick paper pages. I read a little bit each morning while having my coffee. Sometimes only reading a couple pages to enjoy it more.
  The short vignettes throughout the book conjured up magical images, smells, tastes, and more.
  Lots of helpful practical advice too.
• Love Wabi Sabi wisdom
• A book that can only be written by one living inside its subject. Very enjoyable.
• Great book!
• This book has changed my view on life. I will cherish it always. Beautifully written.
• This is a fantastic read!
• The cover of this book made me want to have it. Every time I look at it I feel a wave of peace wash over me.
  
  One of my favorite parts in the book is when Beth talks about self-help gurus and how they claim to have woken up one day and their life is now perfect.
  
  Beth says, “I don’t buy it. We are all works in progress. Some of us happen to have had the opportunity to reflect, and perhaps have a platform from which to share what we are discovering as we go, but, in truth we are all learning from one another.”
  
  I felt like I found a truth sister as I often say that I too am a work in progress. Life is messy, but that is where the nuggets of wisdom are. Perfect is an illusion.
  
  We Westerners can learn so much from Japanese wisdom and it was such a delight to travel down the many roads of Wabi Sabi that Beth shares in her exquisite book after having spent many years living and working in the culture.
  
  I found myself so much more calm and at peace reading this book. It’s why it remains on my coffee table – not only for the gorgeous and serene cover, but for the wisdom that floats out to greet me each time I glance at it.
