About this listen

Learn to make every moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this definitive guide to the Japanese art of ichigo ichie, from the best-selling authors of Ikigai.

Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever - an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie. Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or 'ceremony of attention', whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

The Book of Ichigo-Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way is an inspirational work which shows us how to:

  • Free ourselves from the past and the future and to make each moment something unique.
  • Bring into our lives the Zen that Steve Jobs learned from a Japanese master, and which was key to his success.
  • Turn coincidences into a tool for conscious magic.
  • Create unforgettable moments in professional and personal circles.
  • Improve our relationships with a new type of mindfulness.
  • Open the floodgates to the flow of creativity whenever we need it.

The Book of Ichigo Ichie will help you find your ikigai.

This book has come to me just in this moment… it is meant to be. Wonderful

This is the first and last time I will experience this moment.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to 'Ichi go ichi e' by Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia during my morning walks. The book's structure, combined with the narrator's clear and engaging voice, made it feel like a delightful conversation. The content is light and easy to listen to while providing a wealth of information and practical application of the ideas discussed. I was particularly impressed by the final chapter, which recaps all the previous ones. Remarkably, I vividly recalled each section, as if I had studied them, even though I had only listened to them once. This audiobook is not only inspiring but also makes for an enjoyable and enriching experience

Very interesting and inspiring

A few interesting points about making the most of every moment but mostly off on a tangent discussing content of little interest or proven fact.

Not for me
