- The Korean Book of Happiness: Joy, resilience and the art of giving :- From the very first moment she set foot in South Korea, Barbara Zitwer, literary agent to some of the most celebrated Korean authors, fell head-over-heels in love, rediscovering a vitality for life.Â
In this fascinating book, Zitwer shares all that she has learnt about this vibrant country forged by the philosophies of han, heung and jeong: resilience, joy and the art of giving. She takes us from the buzzing capital of Seoul to Buddhist mountain temples, from the bizarre theme park within the Demilitarised Zone to the island of Jeju to meet haenyeo, a remarkable sisterhood of free-divers. Along the way, Zitwer recounts magical moments of understanding and connection, as well as top travel tips and local recipes.
The Korean Book of Happiness invites you to explore a beguiling culture and learn how the Korean way can make your life happier and more fulfilled
‘Someone finally writes about Korean happiness! And who better than Barbara Zitwer, our de facto global ambassador for Korean literature, to give the outside world an account of the joyful aspects of Korean life?’Â Anton Hur
‘This eclectic and informative book is equal parts memoir, travelogue, guidebook, and cultural commentary with a bonus of authentic, delicious recipes. Delightfully energetic and upbeat, The Korean Book of Happiness has something for every reader.’ Heinz Insu Fenkl, author of Skull Water
‘This book is an invitation to adventure into every corner of this wondrous country and find happiness and peace.’ J.M. Lee, best-selling author of Broken Summer and The Investigation - The Book Of Ichigo Ichie :- Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the bestselling authors of Ikigai.’Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them’ (Marie ” Kondo) Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or ‘ceremony of attention’, whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present. Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.’This is a great little book to lift the spirits and remind us of the importance of living in the ‘now’, not worrying about the past or future.’ – 5* Reader Review’This book should act as a wakeup call. Make each now a sacred moment. Pay attention! Make each moment special!’ – 5* Reader Review’The authors of Ikigai have offered another brief and masterful addition for those seeking out a simpler and more fulfilling life.
- The Daily Stoic :- Where can you find joy? What’s the true measure of success? How should we manage anger? Find meaning? Conquer grief? The answers to these questions and more lie at the heart of Stoic philosophy.
The Daily Stoic is a wise, calming, page-a-day guide to living a good life, offering inspirational daily doses of classic wisdom. Each page features a powerful quotation from the likes of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or philosopher Epictetus, as well as historical anecdotes and thought-provoking commentary to help you tackle any problem, approach any goal and find the serenity, self-knowledge and resilience you need to live well. - Lives of the Stoics :- Instant New York Times Advice & Business Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller, and Wall Street Journal #1 Bestseller!A New York Times Noteworthy Pick and a “stellar work” by Publishers WeeklyFrom the bestselling authors of The Daily Stoic comes an inspiring guide to the lives of the Stoics, and what the ancients can teach us about happiness, success, resilience and virtue.Nearly 2,300 years after a ruined merchant named Zeno first established a school on the Stoa Poikile of Athens, Stoicism has found a new audience among those who seek greatness, from athletes to politicians and everyone in between. It’s no wonder; the philosophy and its embrace of self-mastery, virtue, and indifference to that which we cannot control is as urgent today as it was in the chaos of the Roman Empire. In Lives of the Stoics, Holiday and Hanselman present the fascinating lives of the men and women who strove to live by the timeless Stoic virtues of Courage. Justice. Temperance. Wisdom. Organized in digestible, mini-biographies of all the well-known–and not so well-known–Stoics, this book vividly brings home what Stoicism was like for the people who loved it and lived it, dusting off powerful lessons to be learned from their struggles and successes.More than a mere history book, every example in these pages, from Epictetus to Marcus Aurelius–slaves to emperors–is designed to help the reader apply philosophy in their own lives. Holiday and Hanselman unveil the core values and ideas that unite figures from Seneca to Cato to Cicero across the centuries. Among them are the idea that self-rule is the greatest empire, that character is fate; how Stoics benefit from preparing not only for success, but failure; and learn to love, not merely accept, the hand they are dealt in life. A treasure of valuable insights and stories, this book can be visited again and again by any reader in search of inspiration from the past.
- The Obstacle is the Way: The Ancient Art of Turning Trials into Triumph :- We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling ‘modern Machiavelli’ Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better.
If the competition threatens you, it’s time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy – it’s also potentially generating publicity.
The Stoic philosophy – that what is in the way, is the way – can be applied to any problem: it’s a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama’s ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.
