Haru Yamada offers a practical guide to more effective listening as a perceptive, creative exercise. We don’t just listen to what people say and don’t say, we reconstruct what someone else is saying and doing and meaning and feeling. Listening is a skill that requires our physical ear and brain power and the effort of our creative mind and social heart to remix what we hear from others and recreate it within ourselves. Kiku will allow you to harness the vital energy of listening to connect, sustain, and enhance the relationships you have with your friends, families, and professional teams.

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.

The goals of the budo - the martial arts and ways of Japan - lie in refining the body and spirit. These goals are not always the obvious ones - and are learned only through the guidance and direction of great teachers. The techniques, methods, and rituals of the sensei can serve as guides to a well-lived life - and provide invaluable lessons for today's martial artists.

Decluttering your house can seem like a daunting task. It’s hard to know where to begin. Your home is such an important project as you spend so much time there. It becomes a reflection of you. A clean and tidy home means a clean and tidy mind. But most people aren’t equipped with the discarding skills to clear out the clutter, or the design ideas to create that sleek, minimalist yet warm feel for themselves.

Danger awaits best friends on the island of Malta, where one will be accused of murder and the other of being a spy on the run. A missing journalist cannot tell the world he is still alive by becoming a mystery writer's alibi. When Hiromi came back to Paris to settle an old score, she had no idea her target might be hiding on the island of Malta. But, now, she has a chance to redeem her reputation by neutralizing a rogue agent and capturing the mystery writer who hides agency secrets in his novels.

This is a new edition of Yone Noguchi’s classic text, The Spirit of Japanese Art. Excerpt from the Introduction: "When I left home toward a certain Doctor’s who had promised to show me his collection of chirography and art, the unusual summer wind which had raged since midnight did not seem to calm down; the rain-laden clouds now gathered, and then parted for the torrent of sunlight to dash down. I was most cordially received by him, as I was expected; in coming under threat of the weather I had my own reasons."

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.

Wa means harmony, a central tenet at the heart of the Japanese belief that to live well is to live in balance. In this book, wellness expert Kaki Okumura shares the practices and psychology behind Wa and the Japanese health secrets that allow anyone, at any point in their life, to improve and sustain their health. Her method to bring Wa into your life is based on four pillars: nourish, move, rest, and socialize.

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.
