"Shibui" is a Japanese word that describes the simple, subtle beauty that emerges with time. Blending Japanese philosophy and universal insights, this book combats anti-aging messages by allowing you to discover the beauty in aging and savor life's later chapters with joy and grace. Shibui offers a fresh, culturally rich perspective on aging in a market saturated with crass anti-aging messaging. Like the Japanese concept of ikigai, which is about finding your purpose, shibui offers a gentler viewpoint about celebrating beauty that emerges with time. Using beautiful watercolors, personal stories, and practical tips and activities, author Sanae Ishida—a self-described Japanese American woman "of a certain age" with plenty of lived experience—is passionate about empowering others to celebrate the gifts of maturity. Discover the secrets to a long, satisfying, and happy life from a culture with one of the longest-living populations with this welcome (and long overdue) reminder that "old" is not a negative.
