It's Okay Not to Look for the Meaning of Life - Jikisai Minami - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

It's Okay Not to Look for the Meaning of Life - Jikisai Minami - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Free Yourself from Stress with Simple, No-Nonsense Advice from a Zen Monk!Zen monk Jikisai Minami takes the things we are supposed to strive for and turns them on their head. The 35 short, thought-provoking essays in this book are divided into four chapters about our sense of self, our hopes and dreams, our personal relationships and how to face death. Each essay begins with a deliberately controversial point of view to help us look at life's problems through fresh eyes. Each chapter features a number of short, thought-provoking essays providing fresh perspectives on familiar problems that can change your life! The essays include:People Can Live Without Dreams and HopesYou Don't Have to Be "Who You Want to Be"When Your Head Is Full of Anger, Do Routine WorkDo Things for Yourself, Not for OthersIt's Natural for Life to Be NegativeIf It's Not a Life or Death Problem, You Can Handle ItPeople Can Be Saved Just by Speaking Their True FeelingsWanting Things Creates AnxietyIf You Grieve as Much as You Want To, the Time Will Come When You Can LaughA Person with Good Relationships Passes Away BeautifullyAlthough the author's messages may seem harsh at first, his teachings help us reduce anxiety in our daily lives. Being bound by the belief that "I have to do X" or "I need to achieve Y" causes immense stress. The author encourages us to accept our reality and live our lives from that starting point. This, he believes will free us from anxiety, relationship problems and negative emotions. This book has been a huge hit in Japan, with reader comments such as:"I realized that I had made my life difficult by thinking, I always have to be ambitious about my work." (Female, age 50)"I was deeply moved by the idea that you don't have to find the meaning of life. This is a book I cherish." (Male, age 34)

Super Potato Design - Mira Locher - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Super Potato Design - Mira Locher - Bog - Tuttle Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"We do not live only with clear-cut forms;rather, we exist in a world of forms that are often indistinct and vague." —Takashi Sugimoto, architect and James Beard Award-winning authorSuper Potato Design presents the work of internationally-renowned Japanese designer Takashi Sugimoto. After studying metal sculpture at Tokyo University of Fine Arts, Sugimoto began his career designing a series of bars and restaurants including the iconic Radio Bar that became a favorite hangout for designers like Issey Miyake, Ikko Tanaka, Yohji Yamamoto and Tadao Ando. He was soon recruited to design retail spaces including the original Muji "no-brand" shops along with hotels, tea ceremony spaces and wedding chapels. Super Potato's striking interiors have totally revolutionized Japanese design through the use of exposed concrete surfaces, rough-hewn timber and unevenly cut stone juxtaposed with salvaged metal and repurposed objects to create a sense of power and timelessness. The design vocabulary created by Sugimoto is universally imitated today (in Japan and throughout the world). It is what we now think of as "modern Japanese design"—although Sugimoto's own work has never been surpassed. Super Potato Design presents 40 of Sugimoto's most important projects in 320 full-color photographs by Yoshio Shiratori, who has worked with the designer since the beginning. Author and architect Mira Locher introduces Sugimoto's work and provides a thorough description for each project. A foreword by Tadao Ando and discussions with architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama and graphic designer Kenya Hara explore the direction of Japanese design today. A list of Super Potato's complete works rounds off this fascinating book.
