Publisher's Synopsis
Who says life has to be perfect? In her life-affirming book, "La Imperfección Iluminada: Desvelando la Sabiduría Japonesa para una Vida Equilibrada," Astrid Auxier joyfully reveals the radiant beauty hiding in life's cracks and flaws. She takes readers on an exploration of Japanese philosophies like Ikigai, Kaizen, and Wabi-Sabi, all celebrating imperfection and impermanence.
Through personal anecdotes, rich history, and time-honored Japanese wisdom, Auxier guides readers to find clarity in life's ambiguities. We learn to uncover hidden gems in brokenness and how our flaws add depth to our experiences. As she explains, we must let go of the fruitless pursuit of perfection. Instead, Auxier proposes we boldly celebrate the authentic, imperfect nature of our humanity.
Ultimately, Auxier warmly shows us how embracing the temporary essence of all things illuminates the pathway to wisdom, self-acceptance, and harmonious purpose.
