What if your scars weren’t flaws to hide—but the very places where your strength and beauty could shine? We all break. A loss, a failure, a betrayal, a mistake—life leaves cracks in all of us. Most of us try to cover them up, ashamed of what they reveal. But in Japan, the ancient art of Kintsugi teaches a different way: when pottery shatters, it is repaired with gold, making the cracks the most beautiful part of the piece. This book invites you to do the same with your own life.

Walking is something we do every day. But in Japan, it has been elevated into an art—a practice of strength, mindfulness, and longevity. From the efficient strides of samurai couriers and Zen monks to today’s science-backed fitness routines, Japanese walking (Namba Aruki and beyond) has helped people build endurance, calm the mind, and live longer, healthier lives. Now, you can bring this ancient-meets-modern practice into your own life with a clear, practical guide. Why This Book MattersMost people think walking isn’t “enough” compared to running or hitting the gym.
