Accept yourself, repair yourself, sublimate your cracks: Rebuild yourself in 9 steps thanks to the art of kintsugi

Body positivity for the soul: magnify your inner wounds as kintsugi does with objects.

“I have chosen to share with you my steps on the path to strength, beauty, and wealth. Because we can emerge alive from our trials, because life is sacred, because—I can tell you now—crossing the desert does not kill us. Have faith in life, in yourself, and in your inner warrior. Take one step at a time, and you will be surprised at how far you have come.” Life is fraught with pitfalls. Like someone who repairs a broken object with gold using the kintsugi technique, it is possible to repair one's soul or body following an injury. Through the nine stages that make up this book, from the time before to the breakage, from resilience to vulnerability without fragility, including starting over, learn to pick up the pieces and calmly re-engage on the path of existence. The story of Kame's initiatory journey and her legendary bowl to the land of her fears and suffering, the explanation of the powerful symbols we give to things, the author's personal experience and practical scenarios around kintsugi, to link the being to the object, will accompany you. So, don't be afraid to be the samurai of your life!
