內容簡介
用日本傳統工藝「金繕」哲學,愛上自己的瑕疵、重新找回快樂!金繕是日本的一種泥金工藝,工匠以金箔修補已破損的瓷器,目的並非要將瓷器修補的完美無缺,可以再次被使用,而是金箔在修補接縫中留下的痕跡,讓瓷器變身而成一個新的藝術品。
本書則為將金繕的哲學運用在人身上,如果每個人都可以擁抱自己的不完美,就有可能轉身變成一個新的自己,找到新的人生價值。
在每一個金繕藝術品中,修補的痕跡清晰可見,就像是我們的人生歷程,一定都會有遮蓋不住的錯誤、失敗、傷痛,但若是你用其他的方式修補這些不完美,在他人眼中,你的缺點反而可能變成一種吸引人的記號。
金繕的哲學常和日本的Ikigai,也就是找到人生目的的藝術,一起搭配合作,在現代社會更顯其價值的重要性。
Discover how to embrace the imperfect with Kintsugi. Apply this ancient principle to your life and you will learn how to repair yourself, rebuild your life and love your flaws.
Japanese Kintsugi masters delicately patch up broken ceramics with gold adhesive, leaving the restoration clearly visible to others. Psychologist Tomás Navarro believes that we should approach our lives with the same philosophy. Everyone faces suffering, but it is the way in which we overcome our troubles, and heal our emotional wounds, that is key. We shouldn't conceal our repairs, they are proof of our strength.
Navarro presents real solutions to genuine problems that he has seen in his professional practice. His anecdotes demonstrate that it is possible to transform adversity or setbacks into a strength. His psychological understanding and perspective will leave you feeling courageous and prepared, should you experience misfortune, be it heartbreak, a job loss or bereavement.
Often practised alongside Ikigai (or the art of finding one's life purpose), Kintsugi shows you how happiness can be found again, often against all odds. A painful experience can in fact make you a more determined individual, ready to face the world with optimism.
