Status Updates From Ikigai: Die Kunst, zufriede...

Até o momento, um livro lindo, bem editado, fiel ao que se propõe (ser um compilado objetivo, e ao mesmo tempo emotivo das tradições japonesas). Gostosa a leitura. Tem até receitas.

Kokodo, a primeira parte do livro, discorre sobre algumas palavras/costumes/filosofias mais conhecidas para nós, ocidentais, como ikigai, kaizen, wabi-sabi, etc. Apesar do tom auto-ajuda, me senti bem conectado e
me peguei fazendo algumas correlações de alguns dos sentimentos expressos e costumes presentes na minha vida. Algumas coincidências encontradas foram colocadas em palavras, o que é muito bom!

Volgende hoofdstuk gaat over thee ^^

TIL: Ramen là một món rất mặn nên người Nhật không expect bạn phải húp hết nước. Nếu muốn thể hiện rằng bạn enjoy bát mì ramen thì hãy húp soàn soạt 🤣 trời ơi kỳ ghê

Bản dịch này hơi tệ.

Read the Tabemono (Food) chapter while waiting on Domino's. I love imagining recreating the recipes, and it is interesting to learn food-related terms as well as the reasons behind certain customs at the dinner table. Shall definitely remember not to stab anything with chopsticks!

Read Shinrin-Yoku and Ikebana. Though hard to pick, my highlights were probably remembering komorebi, the proven effects of phytoncides and discovering kawaakari. I shall keep the Five Classic Walks list in mind for when I go over... Likewise, I would definitely like to get into Ikebana once I’m living alone and have my own time; perhaps the Japan Society at uni will know where to direct me.

Finished the Wabi-Sabi and Kintsugi chapters. Bittersweetly reflective: the anecdote of ‘mono no aware’ hit hard, for it reminded me of many lasts I never realised were lasts during my final Botswana days, then again in my final Sixth Form days. I’ll never have them again and though it may sting, that is natural and a sign of progress. Though I was skeptical, I’m glad to be reading this book.

Completed the Ikigai (Purpose) chapter. So far I suspect that I’m not entirely the right audience: it would be more useful for someone struggling with lifestyle more than I do, and some lessons come across as simplistic. On the other hand, it is an easy, pleasant, aesthetic and unoffending read, and many of the lessons thus far are things I would have needed to hear a few years ago.

I’m excited! I must get back to studying 日本語 but hopefully this will get me back in the mood. It is also relieving to read about Japanese customs for healthy living from a Japanese-descended perspective.

Ok it’s got me natsuiing somewhat but it’s still bad. Additional minus points for garbage neurobabble (brains don’t light up hun you’re thinking of lightbulbs)

Oh noooooo... I always seem to hate books my mum gets me. I feel like I need to try not to hate this but it’s so Instagram-influencer that I’m on the verge of just tearing out the photos of yatai to keep and yeeting the rest into the snow

Wabi- Sabi

How do I find my ikigai:
- work;
• business card
• work process and continuous space for improvement
• meet colleagues outside work
• otsukaresana = gratitude for the hard work put in
• take care of yourself (take breaks)

- love;
• friendship
• love life
• for those who aren’t with us anymore

- environment;
• renhållning
• hemmet

- respekt;
• äldre
• sig själv o miljön (cykla)

Essence of Ikigai:

- To understand the volatile nature of all that is bad, and find what gives you satisfaction

- The fuel for your engine that you need to keep running

- Drives you forward even during the darkest moments

- What makes our lives richer

Una reflexión maravillosa ✨

so good.

Seems interesting so far, but I would’ve liked to have more practical advices on the part related to the spirit

Looks promising

“หากไม่ให้เวลากับตัวเอง เราก็ไม่สามารถช่วยเหลือผู้อื่นได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ”

“ณ จุดหนึ่งในวัยเด็กของเราพ่อแม่จะอุ้มหรือยกเราขึ้นมาขี่ขอเป็นครั้งสุดท้าย ‘โมโนะ โนะ อาวะเระ’ ถ่ายทอดความรู้สึกที่เกิดขึ้นจากความคิดนั้นได้อย่างสมบูรณ์แบบ นั่นคือความเศร้าที่เกิดจากความตระหนักรู้ แต่ในขณะเดียวกันก็ยอมรับว่าทุกสิ่งล้วนหลีกเลี่ยงไม่ได้ มันเกิดจากการใคร่ครวญ การตระหนักด้วยตัวเอง และการเฝ้าสังเกตโลกอันกว้างใหญ่รอบตัว”

“ความงามแบบชิบุอิไม่ฉูดฉาด เรียบง่าย ทรงภูมิ แต่ถ่อมตน ไม่โดดเด่น ทว่าสื่อให้เห็นความซับซ้อนภายใน แม้จะดูธรรมดาเมื่อแรกพบ”

If you try, you may succeed. If you don't try, you will not succeed. This is true of all things. Not succeeding is the result of not trying.

Read like half of this in a bookshop and then the store closed so I didn't get to finish it cause I didn't want to buy it.
