Do you feel that the world is changing and you feel different from before? Or have you had a change in your life that knocked the ground out from under your feet? At such moments, it is especially important to hear your inner voice — the "thinking heart", or kokoro, as they say in Japan. It helps to find support and return to yourself. Together with Beth Kempton, the author of the international bestseller Wabi Sabi, you will embark on a symbolic journey through Japan — to three sacred mountains that preserve ancient wisdom. This is the path to a deeper, freer and more fulfilling life. This is a story about:• What can fickleness teach you?;• how taking care of yourself makes the world around you more harmonious and brighter;• how to rethink losses and make them a part of inner growth;• this helps to gain confidence in the future and choose the right direction. Kokoro is a book for those who strive for gentle but profound changes, who want to fine—tune their lives to a wave of peace, happiness and inner well-being. A full-color book filled with exquisite illustrations is a wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one. Quotes from the book "Here on the mountain, for the first time, I thought that, perhaps, in the pursuit of success, I had missed something that was important to me personally — moments of beauty, unity, peace and wonder. If only I could turn back time and live through these moments. There are no other activities on the mountain besides kokoro's work. Just be at peace, here and now. Feel your place in the universe." "Be where you need to be. And don't rush to find out the answers to all the questions — they will appear on their own when the time comes." "Live your life and love your loved ones. Nothing lasts forever." Reviews"A very inspiring and philosophical text. To go on a journey inside yourself, look into the eyes of your fears, try to understand life and death, feel harmony with the world and find inner peace — you will definitely be able to feel all this, just like the author of the book, if you decide to take the first step towards a new life." — Anna Miller, book blogger books_holy_anna"This book is like sharpness on a camera — it helps to bring the right focus. And he carefully explains that the focus in life should not be on plans. And not to keep everything under control. And certainly not about what others think of you. The main thing is to feel the taste of the present moment and be sure that your KOKORO will not let you down at the right moment, giving you the right impulse. So we read and tune into Japanese wisdom, which always sounds very poetic and inspiring." — Anna Myasnikova, Head of the Creative Projects Group at Bombora Publishing House.
