The Japanese wisdom of chowa offers a fresh perspective on how to live, and new ways both to make space and find balance among the many different directions that modern life pulls us in.

Chowa is a Japanese concept that is often translated as 'harmony', but more accurately means 'the search for balance'. Chowa is both a philosophy and a set of practices that can help us get to the heart of what is most important to us, and change our way of thinking about ourselves and others.

This book will teach you how to apply the lessons of chowa to your own life to better focus on what really matters and cultivate an everyday state of equilibrium and calm that will help you feel ready for anything. Chowa helps us to better balance our priorities and our relationships and find inner strength and flexibility in times of change and difficulty.

Whether you are searching for balance at home, at work, in your relationships or in any other area of your life, chowa offers new solutions and a way of thinking that we could all benefit from, now more than ever.

Critic reviews

Following Tanaka's wisdom is an easy way to start making life feel just a little more balanced
All stars
Most relevant
This book is an excellent immersion into the Japanese culture, its pros and cons, and how it compares to the West / British culture. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because the narrator's style is sharp and blunt as if she's narrating a medical text, and the book would be best suited with a smoother intonation.
