A personal manifesto extolling the author's current belief system in the areas of politics, religion, and philosophy. After a lifetime of chasing religious and political Utopian ideologies, he got tired of all the spoon-fed pablum that others told him he had to swallow to be a better person. Now the author has learned to honor impermanence with tenderness (mono no aware) and to live each day with a grounded purpose (Ikigai). This book offers a simple life stance: presence over certainty, gratitude over grasping, and meaning made in the midst of change.
