Terlalu banyak tuntutan untuk “melakukan ini” dan “melakukan itu” sering kali membuat kita kewalahan. Beberapa tuntutan membutuhkan kesabaran sampai batas tertentu dan membuat kita dibebani pikiran yang berlebihan. Lalu, apa yang sebaiknya kita lakukan ketika menghadapi situasi seperti itu? Dalam buku laris dari Jepang yang telah diterbitkan di beberapa negara ini, Dokter Tsuneko Nakamura—seorang psikiater yang berkarier selama hampir 70 tahun—berpendapat bahwa solusinya ada pada bagaimana kita mengompromikan perasaan dengan kenyataan. Cara hidupnya yang memiliki kebiasaan melakukan hal baik dimulai sejak dari pikiran—dan membuat kita dapat menerima diri apa adanya—sangat bermanfaat bagi kesehatan fisik dan psikis untuk meraih kehidupan yang berkualitas. Berikut beberapa di antara pendapatnya: • Tugas kita di malam hari adalah tidur nyenyak. • Terima hal-hal kecil, dan kebaikan kecil akan menyebar. • Akan lebih bahagia jika kita tidak berpikir harus bahagia. • Menyerah bisa juga berarti memperjelas jalan hidup kita. • Pilih mana yang harus dipikirkan saat ini dan mana yang tidak. • Saat fisik dan hati sedang lelah, jangan melakukan sesuatu yang menambah beban. • Jalin hubungan yang memungkinkan kita nyaman memperlihatkan kelemahan kita. • Memahami sifat diri—apa yang disukai dan tidak disukai—lebih penting daripada membangun rasa percaya diri.

"An eye-opening handbook from a leading Ayurvedic physician that blends cutting-edge science on 'clock genes' with ancient eastern wisdom to help us understand how to harness the power of chronobiology to effortlessly lose weight, sleep better, exercise stronger, reduce stress, and boost our well being. 'It's not you, it's your schedule.' Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms--those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts when it's convenient, working late into the night to maximize productivity and then trying to 'catch up' on sleep during the weekend disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level. Our 'clock genes' control more than we realize, and small changes can make the difference between battling our bodies, and effortlessly managing weight, sleep, stress, inflammation, and more. Marrying ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with the latest scientific research, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar's holistic step-by-step 30-day plan gives you the tools--and the schedule--you need to transform your life. With diagnostic quizzes to determine your specific mind-body type, you will learn to adapt you schedule for effortless wellness for life"--

Through some 300 objects this book explores contemporary Japanese design: from everyday objects and packaging to interior design and lighting elements. Ultimately the book aims to explore the way in which Japanese design manages to harness its materials--whether natural or synthetic--and at the same time combine respect for tradition with forward thinking and experimentation. The objects featured were chosen because of their strong Japanese character and the influence this 'Japaneseness' has had on Western culture. Rather than following a chronological order or concentrating on the designers, this book focuses on the objects and is categorized by material, highlighting the strong link between design and material in Japan.
