Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What does it mean to live a beautiful life in a restless world? In Shibui, Wa, Ikigai: Beauty, Harmony & Meaning, J. Walton Dean explores a timeless truth found across many wisdom traditions: a life well lived is not built on noise, excess, or endless striving, but on depth, balance, and right relationship. Drawing inspiration from Japanese ideas such as shibui (understated beauty), wa (harmony), and ikigai (what makes life worth living), and placing them in conversation with related insights from other cultures, this book offers a thoughtful path toward a more conscious modern life. Here, beauty is not glamour, but quiet depth. Harmony is not mere politeness, but the work of living well with others, with oneself, and with the world. Meaning is not a slogan or a job title, but the deeper sense that life is worth inhabiting fully. Blending philosophy, reflection, and practical application, J. Walton Dean invites readers to move beyond distraction, overconsumption, and superficial success toward something steadier and more lasting: a life shaped by enoughness, belonging, and purpose. For readers interested in intentional living, spirituality without dogma, inner balance, and wisdom from many cultures, Shibui, Wa, Ikigai offers a rich and deeply human guide to living with more beauty, more harmony, and more meaning.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What if aging did not have to mean surrendering your memory In Memory, Aging, and Higher Consciousness, J. Walton Dean offers a calm, practical, and deeply encouraging guide to strengthening memory in later life without fear, gimmicks, or decline-based thinking.This is not a book about panic.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Spiritual life does not happen in the mind alone. It happens in the body first. Modern spirituality often forgets the body.
