More About This Book

Overview

Love. It's right up there with air, food, and water as the most necessary of ingredients for existence. And yet it is one of the hardest things to find, and perhaps an even harder thing to hold on to.

The truth is you're not perfect, and neither is your partner. But you can be perfectly imperfect together. In Wabi Sabi Love, international bestselling author and relationship expert Arielle Ford applies the wisdom of Wabi Sabi—the ancient Japanese idea of illuminating the beauty in imperfection—to love relationships. Wabi Sabi Love is the practice of exploring, embracing, and cherishing the quirks, irritations, and limitations that make you and your partner unique and that form your shared history as a couple.

Wabi Sabi Love provides the tools to see yourself, your partner, and your partnership in an entirely new light, develop a deep and profound appreciation for each other, and experience more balance, harmony, and joy in your relationship than ever before. Wabi Sabi Love teaches you to:

  • turn conflict into connection and differences into mutual passions
  • move from "annoyed" to "enjoyed"
  • establish new beliefs and habits that better serve your relationship
  • cultivate humor, humility, and generosity to diffuse those moments when you would normally retreat or slip into tired judgments, criticisms, or resentments

Using real-life stories of couples who applied Wabi Sabi and found their relationships transformed, Wabi Sabi Love can revolutionize your relationship whether you're navigating financial challenges, raising children, caring for aging parents, coping with a seemingly insurmountable betrayal, or just facing mundane frustrations and everyday stressors. By shifting the focus from what's wrong to what's right, Wabi Sabi Love reveals a pathway to true love and your happily ever after.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Ford (The Soulmate Secret) develops the Japanese aesthetic, known as wabi sabi, of finding beauty in imperfection into a relationship model where couples are taught to focus on what's right with the other person and not what's wrong. Ford argues that though all couples have irreconcilable differences, they can use the wabi sabi method to embrace rather than try to eliminate the tastes, opinions, and unique viewpoints of their partner. In other words, vive la différence! This is certainly easier to say than to do, but Ford provides numerous examples of couples who have accomplished this ideal. It's a worthwhile read for anyone in a relationship.

    This is fantastic!

    I started reading this book a few weeks ago. It is the perfect book for people who is interested on growing with his/her partner. A book that needs to be read to-get-her. It helps you understanding the different aspects of love and how to handle them. Wonderful stories, excercises, and spiritual messages. I bought two more just because it is so good that i need to share it with my siblings. This is a must have book!
