Kintsugi Wellness Audiobook Summary

From the author of Clean Green Eats, a Japanese-inspired guide to finding balance, joy, and good health–A Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up for wellness–that emphasizes a simple, streamlined method for cleaning up your eating habits and offers modern-day applications of ancient Japanese healing practices and philosophy

Candice Kumai has always treasured the Japanese traditions that shaped her childhood. In recent years, she’s been spending more time in Japan, meeting with relatives and absorbing the culture. It was on one of those trips that she visited a Kintsugi master and found the guiding inspiration for her next book.

Kintsugi is an art form that reconstructs broken pottery, sealing the pieces together with gold to create something that is even more beautiful for all of its cracks and flaws. In Kintsugi Wellness, Candice shows us how this ancient Japanese practice can be applied to our lives to achieve radiant health.

Part 1: Lifestyle introduces the Japanese art of living and aging well, from spending more time with family + nature and honoring the seasons (and the impact of the seasons your body) to reconnecting with ancestors + learning of adaptation, discipline, humility and kaizen (continuous improvement).

Part 2: Mind explores the ways in which the mind and body are inextricably linked in Japanese wellness philosophies, showing readers how the philosophy of golden repair can be applied in cleansing rituals, meditation, and soothing traditions.

Part 3: Heart shows us how to incorporate a greater sense of connection and gratitude into our lives through community, spirituality, personal relationships, nature, respect and family–the cornerstones of Japanese culture.

Part 4: Nutrition offers detailed information on essential Japanese ingredients (including superfoods like green tea/matcha, miso, and fermented foods) as well as traditional cooking traditions and methods, with forty whole-food recipes including California style bowls, miso, soba, temaki (hand-roll) sushi, bento boxes and more.

The philosophy of kintsugi is not about perfection–it is about healing, becoming whole, and finding the beauty in our imperfections. Written in Candice’s warm, conversational style, Kintsugi Wellness offers readers the tools to mend what ails them and to embrace and celebrate what makes them unique.

3.5 stars. I listened to the audio of this book. The principles and ideas are just the reminders I needed right now, and pretty in-line with my philosophy of wellness. She can be a little self-indulgent once in awhile with her writing style, and I felt like her metaphor to kintsugi was sometimes pretty shallow, but overall I really appreciated the ideas and message. For not the first time I thought how my personality lends itself to many of the tenants of the Japanese culture. From a linguistic perspective I love hearing Japanese words with a singular meaning; sometimes difficult to translate, which shape and define the Japanese cultural identity.

This book just made me smile. Thank you Candice for your story and for being you. At first, I was surprised to see recipes in the book but then that's who you are. So it's awesome that you brought your love for food, recipes, Japan and kintsugi all in one book.. You have definitely inspired me and now I feel like I have made the right choice to write my story about stress and anxiety and self-publish the book: a broken teacup: filling the cracks with mindfulness, essentialism and self-care.

Learning about the Japanese philosophies that have kept Japanese people vibrant, happy and living with intention is something to learn from. Candice presents this philosophy in a way that is relatable, applicable and approachable. She introduces the philosophies, how their meaning is shaped in Japan, but also how to apply them to a modern life, outside of Japan. Her stories, her words and memories are raw and emotional. Candice gives meaning to difficult times and pain in a way that you can't help but be optimistic about in the end. I know they they say "don't just a book by its cover," but this book is simply beautiful and high quality. Complete with stunning imagery to capture the essence of Candice's upbringing, adventures and recipes. Plus the recipes are a FUN way to incorporate these philosophies into our food. Forever learning, growing and enriching our lives physically and mentally! MUAH!💕

This book is a beautiful book (literally, the cover is gorgeous!) about the history and practices of different places in Japan. I don’t know how to describe it but it has a large section of recipes, a section on travel, and is focused around principals of Japanese wellness. This makes a great coffee table book and a wonderful gift!

Great book incorporating Japanese thought and philosophy on food, beauty and emotional health. Lots of recipes and a travel guide to Japan at the end, but the best chapters are at the beginning when she focuses on the self.

I loved this! Particularly some of what she writes about health and Japanese traditions/concepts. The recipes are cute and simple--very Japanese-California fusion and all pescatarian (most are vegan actually).
