Le Yen May set off on a journey across Japan to explore every corner of the picturesque Kansai region. This was not an ordinary tourist trip, but a unique immersion in Japanese culture: on the road, Yen Mei was able to discover the true meaning of 15 concepts that form the essence of the philosophy of life in the Land of the Rising Sun. In each chapter of the book, corresponding to the stage of the journey, she tells how the Japanese see beauty in imperfection, find harmony with the world around them and find happiness among simple things. The author recounts personal encounters and experiences that helped her understand the true meaning of kaizen, wabi-sabi, or omoiyari, and invites readers to join her on this journey. The philosophy of kaizen is accessible to everyone and easy to use on the path of self-improvement. One of its most well-known benefits is the immediate reduction in stress levels. Those who feel depressed due to the inexorability of life's difficulties will especially appreciate the opportunity to cope with them step by step, to treat defeats as a starting point for self-development. For those who are connoisseurs of Japanese culture and those who have recently discovered its diversity. It is important to get rid of useless objects, but even more important is this approach for our mind, which should be freed from any petty thoughts. Centenarian Okinawans attach great importance to this. To fully live each day, you need a clean and clear mind.
