Japanese Philosophy

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.

If you feel overwhelmed, stressed, and like you constantly have a huge weight on your shoulders, odds are you need to declutter your life. Decluttering is highly necessary in today’s world, but what is not always known is how to recognize the point at which you need to start. You also need to know how to do it and what to look for to know if it’s working. This audiobook has all that and more. We break it down to a level almost anyone can apply to his or her unique circumstances.

Los japoneses creen que todos tienen un ikigai, una razón de ser que llena cada día de significado. En un pequeño pueblo de Japón conocido como Okinawa, donde las personas viven más tiempo que en cualquier otro lugar del mundo, encontrar tu ikigai es la clave para una vida más feliz y saludable. Pero, ¿qué es exactamente el ikigai? Es el punto donde tus pasiones, tus talentos, tus valores y tu sustento se alinean. Es ese lugar especial que llena tus días de propósito y alegría, la razón por la que te levantas de la cama cada mañana con ganas de abrazar el mundo.

The Japanese progressed throughout the eras because of the emperor, but they also progressed despite him. These are people who never let go of their sacred history, and their story is told and retold in art, film, literature, and even graphic novels across the entire world. Terms such as shoguns, samurai, haiku, anime, and manga are familiar to many in the Western world today. Westerners also learn flower arranging, martial arts, meditation, and enjoy a variety of visual and digital art forms because of the unique culture of Japan.

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?

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. 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.

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.

From ancient times to the modern era, martial arts has consistently evolved over the centuries and continues to evolve and thrive today. At the turn of the 20th century, martial arts saw perhaps its greatest evolution as many Japanese and Okinawan martial arts masters of the time no longer looked at martial arts as a mere tool of warfare, but instead as systems that have immeasurable mental and physical health benefits.
