About this listen

SHIBUI introduces listeners to a transformative Japanese approach to aging that celebrates the subtle beauty, wisdom, and joy that emerge with time.

Through engaging personal essays and practical activities, Japanese-American author Sanae Ishida presents a refreshing alternative to Western anti-aging messages. Each chapter explores a different dimension of aging beautifully: beauty (bi), health (kenkou), purpose (mokuteki), wealth (tomi), connection (tsunagari), and approaching life's end (owari). Listeners will find:

  • Personal anecdotes that bridge Eastern and Western perspectives on aging
  • Cultural insights into Japanese traditions that honor aging
  • Practical exercises and reflections to apply shibui principles to daily life
  • Simple activities to cultivate appreciation for life's later chapters

This beautiful book offers both wisdom and actionable ideas for anyone seeking to age with grace, purpose, and joy. Perfect for listeners who enjoyed Ikigai, The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly, and The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.
