Japanese Philosophy

Beginning students in Japanese martial arts, such as karate, judo, aikido, iaido, kyudo, and kendo, learn that when they are in the dojo (the practice space), they must don their practice garb with ritual precision, address their teacher and senior students in a specific way, and follow certain unwritten but deeply held codes of behavior. But very soon they begin to wonder about the meaning behind the traditions, gear, and relationships in the dojo.

Finding your ikigai—the thing that makes you jump out of bed in the morning—is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. The concept of ikigai is closely linked to the idea of finding one's passion in life. If you want to live a life of meaning and passion, you’ll have to start by facing your deepest fears and desiring a life worth living. If you don’t have this desire, your life becomes a journey of self-improvement with nothing else to define you. In this audiobook, you will learn what Ikigai is all about.

Japanese culture has fascinated the West ever since the country’s doors opened up in the 1800s. In many ways, Japan has remained elusive, and people have travelled from all around the world to see for themselves how unique this nation remains. Another way of exploring this enigmatic culture is through its literature. The English language succeeds surprisingly well in revealing the Japanese sense of life.

Have you ever wondered what Japan was like long ago? The Japanese people have had a long and interesting history, filled with warrior queens, emperors, and discoveries that have changed the world. Both parents and children will enjoy learning about Ancient Japan in this fun, up-to-date history of the Japanese people. Did you know that the Japanese were the first people to create pottery? That might not sound important, but there were no plates, bowls, jars, or pots before the ancient people in Japan invented all of that!

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."

Vivir cada día con plenitud y serenidad es el ideal al que aspiramos, a pesar de que, en ocasiones, no tengamos fe en ello. Alcanzar nuestros objetivos parece imposible; perseguirlos requiere bastante esfuerzo.

Vivir cada día con plenitud y serenidad es el ideal al que aspiramos, a pesar de que, en ocasiones, no tengamos fe en ello. Alcanzar nuestros objetivos parece imposible; perseguirlos requiere bastante esfuerzo. Gran parte de los consejos y métodos de desarrollo personal que hemos intentado aplicar una y otra vez, no han dado sus frutos, a tal punto, que la idea de llevar una vida armoniosa, con sentido y plena de felicidad, se considera prácticamente una utopía. Pero esto era antes de descubrir el Ikigai.
