Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever--an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. 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.
The Book of Ichigo-ichie: the Art of Living of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way 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.
