'I love [this] book... I read it and it's bewitched me ever since. I'm spellbound' (Chris Evans
Radio 2) '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 spoken in Japan
when greeting someone or saying goodbye 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. The Book of Ichigo-Ichie: The Art of Living of Making the Most of Every Moment the
Japanese Way is an inspirational work which shows us how to: * Free ourselves from the past and
the future and to make each moment something unique. * Bring into our lives the Zen that Steve
Jobs learned from a Japanese master and which was key to his success. * Turn coincidences into
a tool for conscious magic. * Create unforgettable moments in professional and personal
circles. * Improve our relationships with a new type of mindfulness. * Open the floodgates to
the flow of creativity whenever we need it. The Book of Ichigo Ichie will help you find your
ikigai.
