Japan can teach the world many things about living in the present moment and enjoying life's little moments.

Do you often find yourself dwelling over the past or worrying about the future?

It certainly will lead you to unhappiness and miss the moments that matter.

Read these five books that explain some of the most famous Japanese concepts on how to build a fulfilling and productive life.

1. Wabi Sabi

by Beth Kempton

Wabi Sabi explores the various ways in which the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi can improve our lives.

Wabi-sabi, which is based on simplicity, impermanence, and imperfection, serves as an antidote to consumerism and the fast pace of modern life.

With roots in Zen, the timeless wisdom of wabi-sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life as we seek new ways to approach life's challenges and meaning beyond materialism.

Wabi-sabi is a welcome antidote to our fast-paced, consumer-driven world, encouraging you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself.
