A mágica da arrumação se tornou um fenômeno mundial por apresentar uma abordagem inovadora para acabar de vez com a bagunça. Aos 30 anos, a japonesa Marie Kondo virou celebridade internacional, uma espécie de guru quando o assunto é organização. O ponto principal da técnica é o descarte. Para decidir o que manter e o que jogar fora, você deve segurar os itens um a um e perguntar a si mesmo: “Isso me traz alegria?” Você só deve continuar com algo se a resposta for “sim”.

Kondo's recommendation is to handle each and every object in your home - literally picking it up and holding it in your hands - to consider whether or not it "sparks joy." If the object makes you happy, it's a keeper. If it doesn't, it should be discarded or recycled. It's essential to frame this decision as "What should I keep?" rather than "What should I throw away?" Once you have culled your belongings in this way, Kondo estimates you should have only about one-third of what you started with, perhaps less.

Según los japoneses, todos tenemos un motivo para existir, es decir, un ikigai. Algunas personas lo encuentran con más facilidad, y otras aún siguen en su búsqueda. Hay también quienes viven su ikigai pero sin saberlo, y por lo tanto, sin la oportunidad de desarrollarlo en todo su esplendor.

Our lives and our minds have gotten cluttered. Stress and anxiety have become a part of our lives. Even the things that should bring joy and happiness in our lives become a reason for sorrow. This is a sorry state of affairs, and it must change. If you are also feeling the same frustrations in your life, then this audiobook is just for you.

In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities.

From the sugar rush of Tokyo’s idol subculture to the discordant polyrhythms of its experimental punk and indie scenes, this audiobook by Japan Times music columnist Ian F. Martin offers a witty and tender look at the issues that shape Japanese music today. With insights into the evolution of J-pop as well as its history, infrastructure, and (sub)cultures, Martin deconstructs an industry that operates very differently from counterparts overseas.
