The authors of bestselling Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long Life now reveal a new concept of age-old origin which will transform the lives of millions of readers. Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie (pronounced itchy-GO itchy-A), from the bestselling authors of Ikigai.

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 spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, 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.

Ichigo-Ichie: The Japanese Art of Living in the Moment is an inspirational work which shows us how to:

* Free ourselves from the past and the future and to make each moment something unique.

* Bring into our lives the Zen that Steve Jobs learned from a Japanese master, and which was key to his success.

* Turn coincidences into a tool for conscious magic.

* Create unforgettable moments in professional and personal circles.

* Improve our relationships with a new type of mindfulness.

* Open the floodgates to the flow of creativity whenever we need it.


The Book of Ichig Iichie will help you find your ikigai.

Turned out to be the catalyst to change for me in the new year. Instead of planning for the future and preparing for the new year - Ichigo Ichie taught me to embrace the present with all five senses and full mindfulness.

After reading a novel that made me curious about Japanese culture, I chose this book. It did not disappoint. The authors, though not Japanese, presented a thoughtful look at Ichigo Ichie in the context of seeing beauty in every moment and knowing that the moment will never be the same again.

Ichigo Ichie is an excellent resource that tries to deal with a difficult subject of being happy with yourself and in harmony with everything that surrounds you. It does a great job of guiding you through the pros and cons of life choices that determine your ultimate success. However, my only criticism is that the authors spend too much time quoting and documenting footnotes to legitimize their whole purpose for writing this book. I think what we should take away from this book and his other books is that in spite of the randomness and chaos that may challenge our happiness, is that we are the only ones who must choose how we categorize and prioritize all events in our life. We give it, it's importance and significance. We learn to cherish those events worthy of storing in our collective memory or discarding it as unimportant. You are the only person who can determine by choosing those moments which you want to cherish and hold dear to your heart.

I was assigned this book for a class of human behavior and the great praise from the teacher really got me curious about this philosophy. Even thought it taught me some things that I hadn’t encountered before, if you’re mildly familiar with the Buddhas path and Zen Buddhism, most of the lessons taught here will be a repeat of the same formula: keep yourself in the present.

Für mich ist dies ein Buch, welches man unbedingt gelesen haben sollte.
Die Handlung regt definitiv zum Denken an und bietet einem mehr Einblicke in die schöne Kultur und Denkweisen Japans. Für mich absolut interessant, da ich großer Fan davon bin.

Der Schreibstil ist sehr angenehm und flüssig. Das Englisch hat mir keine Probleme gemacht.

Have u ever felt an instant effect on urself after reading a book? I have felt the same after reading this one. My year started with a book which disseminates wisdom such lavishly.

Title: The Book of Ichigo Ichie
Author : Hector Garcia & Francesc Miralles
Page count: 192
Genre: Self help
Rating: 5/5⭐

Ichigo Ichie is a japanese concept meaning 'once, a meeting', also 'In this moment, an opportunity'. The moment which will never come again. This concept was started through Wabi-Cha , a tea ceremony introduced by a tea master Yamanoue Soji in 1558. Many other concepts in Japanese culture are connected to an Ichigo Ichie experience. There are so many concepts to know from this book and which can be applied as well

There are 3 parts in the book. The authors have written this book in the minimalist way possible & that is why what they are trying to say gets to us immediately. Excercise containing questions to know whether u are living in the present, how to use all our 5 senses properly with seperate sections on them with rich live examples guiding us to have a proper ichigo ichie experience, concepts of enlightenment like Kensho & Satori, zen rules of living etc.

My most fav part of the book was ➡️to know that there is a japanese inspiration behind the succes of Steve Jobs 'Apple'. Also in Japan there is an extra flavour called 'Umami' apart from acidic, bitter , sweet & sour taste. Now this interesting thing I might not have known if I wouldn't have read this book. I highly highly highly recommend this book to all my fellow Booklovers. Just go for it😍
