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.Ichigo-Ichie: The Japanese Art of Living in the Moment 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 Ichig Iichie will help you find your ikigai. Customers Review: The book is very easy to read but offers the guidance and simplistic interpretation of Ichigo Ichie. This one is very much enjoyable and not at all “preachy” but “optimistic.” | |
