Book Review: Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment


Here's my short review of the #book- "Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment". The book is written by the best selling authors of "Ikigai" and I found it much more relevant in today's times when we are dealing with the periods of extended isolation from the outside world.

The meaning of Ichigo Ichie is- "What we are experiencing right now will never happen again. And therefore, we must value each moment like a beautiful treasure."

Catch details on my #sketchnote, but if i have to pick a few points that cover the essence of this book:

1. Learn to live fully in the present, acknowledging and appreciating the gift of every #moment. Become hunters of special moments.

2. Four basic #emotions and time
    Anger: keeps us tied to the past
    Sadness: keeps us tied to the past
    Fear: projects us into the future
    #Happiness: belongs to the present and is the home to ichigo ichie.

3. People who are able to lead long & meaningful life usually have two characteristics. They are aware of their #mission. And, they know how to enjoy every moment.

4. Everything we experience, is a unique treasure that will never be repeated in the same way again. So if we let it slip away without enjoying it, the moment will be lost forever.

Anuj,

Are you selling copies of this sketch review? My school is reading Ichigo Ichie this fall. We were wondering if you would allow us to print copies of your poster sketch - Book Review: Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment. We would like to use it as part of our guided study. We are a small school - 71 students and 7 teachers.

Please let us know.

Thank you,
