Japanese Parenting

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori. Bring meaning and joy to your every day with the internationally best-selling guide to ikigai. The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning. And according to the residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa - the world's longest-living people - finding it is the key to a longer and more fulfilled life.

Wabi sabi (wah-bi sah-bi) is a captivating concept from Japanese aesthetics, which helps us to see beauty in imperfection, appreciate simplicity and accept the transient nature of all things. With roots in Zen and the way of tea, the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we search for new ways to approach life's challenges and seek meaning beyond materialism.

Discover the Japanese secret to unlocking your purpose, productivity, and passion in life!

This audiobook offers a way to build good habits and remove bad ones, without being too hard on yourself along the way. The focus is on having patience, shaping solutions for yourself rather than following others and not giving up when things aren’t working. Rather than being critical of your faults, the emphasis is on mindful, positive change. Well-known in the business and sports worlds as a method for mapping incremental goals, Kaizen is also a wonderful tool for slowly improving aspects of your life without feeling daunted or overwhelmed by the challenge.

Japanese by birth but transplanted to Europe in adulthood, Miki Sakamoto has spent a lifetime tending her garden and reflecting on its mysteries. Why do primulas bloom in snow? Do the trees really ‘talk’ to one another? What are the blackbirds saying today? And is there a mindful way to deal with an aphid infestation? From rising early to walk barefoot on the grass each morning, to afternoons and evenings spent sipping tea in her gazebo or watching fireflies as she recalls her childhood in Japan, Sakamoto shares observations from a life spent in contemplation – and cultivation – of nature.

Join author and Japanologist Beth Kempton on a sacred journey to uncover the secrets of fearless writing which have lain buried in Eastern philosophy for two thousand years. In a radical departure from standard advice and widely held assumptions about the effort and suffering required for creative success, The Way of the Fearless Writer will show you there is another way to thrive—a path of trust, ease, freedom and joy.

For more than 25 years Noriko Morishita has studied and practised the intricate rules of the famous Japanese Tea Ceremony, trying to master its complexities in order to find inner peace. In this vivid account of her experience of the universal trials and triumphs of adulthood, Morishita connects the core tenets of this ancient art with leading a fulfilling life, showing how we too may use mindfulness to achieve happiness.

「あの人」の期待を満たすために生きてはいけない―― 【対人関係の悩み、人生の悩みを１００％消し去る〝勇気〟の対話篇】

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.
