Happiness in the Moment. Japanese Secrets of Calmness in a World Where Nothing Goes According to Plan

Japanese woman Jun Fujiwara always dreamed of living in France and realized her dream. But over time, she understood that her attitude towards life is very different from that of Europeans. «How do you manage to always stay in zen?»,... «Why are you so calm and satisfied?», «How can you be so unperturbed if the world has gone mad?» — friends bombarded Jun Fujiwara with questions. And then Jun wrote a book in which she generously shares that very secret Japanese know-how. - About the principle of Muzze (whatever that means), which allows one to maintain hope even in the hardest times when our hearts are shattered into a thousand pieces. - About why it is so important to think not only of oneself but also of others. - About the concept of Ikigai, which encourages a person to seek and find balance between passions, mission, profession, and vocation. - About how to achieve Wabi-sabi — when the mind is serene, filled, and able to see beauty and charm in simplicity and imperfection. And also, Jun Fujiwara teaches how to clean, host guests, stroll in the forest, and do various other things the Japanese way, assuring that happiness lies in the details that sometimes seem insignificant to us.
