Are you interested in living a more Zen, super-duper-chill, relaxed way of life which celebrates imperfections, change as a constant, and a hella cool aesthetic? Um, same!
Every Friday, we discuss mental models, new frameworks, and creative habits and rituals to improve our lives.
This week we’re taking a peek at the often quoted aesthetic philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, a centuries-old Japanese concept that embraces imperfection, transience, and simplicity.
We trace the roots of Wabi-Sabi back to Zen Buddhism, the humble tea ceremony, and follow its evolution via Leonard Koren’s seminal work “Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers,” and how to apply this philosophy to your several areas of your life.
Covered in this episode
The foundational tenets of Wabi-Sabi, from its metaphysical concept of the universe, to the spiritual values of accepting the inevitable and appreciation of life’s imperfections
How you can take the principles of Wabi-Sabi to foster patience, grace, forgiveness, and understanding in friendships
How to fostering a more mindful, sustainable, and fulfilling way of life that promotes adaptability via a Wabi-Sabi perspective
