In this Not Therapy With My Therapist segment, we look at the principles from the Japanese philosophy called wabi-sabi. The philosophy gives us practical tools to help us embrace an imperfect life, navigate grief, and make the most of our lives.
In this month's segment of Not Therapy with My Therapist on the Fight for Brilliance Podcast, we are discussing the powerful Japanese Philosophy Wabi Sabi. We take a look at how business icons like John D. Rockefeller practiced contentment and found happiness in simplicity, and we unpack the meaning of this Japanese philosophy and provide practical ways to apply it to your life.
We discuss these ideas: Not all of life needs to be optimized • The difference between acceptance and acknowledgement • The reason time might not heal all wounds • The importance of knowing what three things you need optimized in life • How to see beauty in an imperfect life.
