    About this ebook

    This easy to read and insightful book aims to help set the groundwork for finding Wabi Sabi, the way of seeing beauty in everything, which stems from the imperfection, the state of continuous withering or decay, and the simplicity that can be found in nature and in objects.

    Wabi Sabi is to view the world with much appreciation for the signs of aging, and the embrace of nature found throughout everyday life.

    Wabi Sabi is something that is consistently lost, misplaced, or ignored. This book will help you "find" the "way" for being one with Wabi Sabi. To find Wabi Sabi, one must know what Wabi Sabi is, and what Wabi Sabi isn't. This book will help guide you on how to flip the switch to see things, people, and yourself in a new light. 

    This book aims to give you a GPS or map to locate it, the binoculars to spot it, a net to trap it, and a mirror to reflect it back on to you.

    Luis Ruvalcaba

    Luis is an avid fan of philosophy and spiritual teachings. A lot of Luis' work comes from his personal life and personal experiences. His fourth and latest release, Achieve A Better Job, Career, Or Work: Continuously is a step by step guide that comes from the experience Luis has had in the corporate world, alongside his working for achieving his passions. Luis has been working in different fields and industries and thus decided to share his personal tips to help others achieve their objectives. His third book, The Runners Philosophy deals with his passion for running and the lessons that are learned while on the road, and how they translate to life lessons.  His first book is about seeing oneself as a perfect being despite imperfections, covering mainly the topic of Wabi Sabi. His second book is related to minimizing things in life that cause problems and prohibit the freedom that can be found in life, which looks at Minimalism and the Minimalist mindset. Luis is a constant traveler, living in different countries and going to different places to learn about other cultures and ways of life. Luis is a big sports fan and has played different sports for recreation.

      Finding Wabi Sabi - Luis Ruvalcaba

      Finding Wabi Sabi

      This easy to read and insightful book aims to help set the groundwork for finding Wabi Sabi, the way of seeing beauty in everything, which stems from the imperfection, the state of continuous withering or decay, and the simplicity that can be found in nature and in objects.

      Wabi Sabi is to view the world with much appreciation for the signs of ageing, and the embrace of nature found throughout everyday life.

      Wabi Sabi is something that is consistently lost, misplaced, or ignored. This book will help you find the way for being one with Wabi Sabi. To find Wabi Sabi, one must know what Wabi Sabi is, and what Wabi Sabi isn't. This book will help guide you on how to flip the switch to see things, people, and yourself in a new light.

      This book aims to give you a GPS or map to locate it, the binoculars to spot it, a net to trap it, and a mirror to reflect it back on to you.

      The Search

      So how do we begin the search for Wabi Sabi? Where does the hunt commence for this elusive treasure? The name itself, Wabi Sabi, makes it seem more difficult to find than a unicorn or a mermaid. This mythical creature which began to rise and take shape in the 14th century has been found and captured by some, all while remaining hidden to the masses despite the old age of Wabi Sabi. This creature is among us, yet, it remains hidden away in the shadows. Those lucky few who have once captured it can still let it slip away once again  even after being caught. Wabi Sabi is one of those things that are in plain sight, yet, so easy to miss, which makes it even more mystical.

      Among perfectly sculpted skyscrapers that cover our skylines and obscure our views of the clouds, they cannot hide the sight of Wabi Sabi. Among our self-driving cars, automatic devices, and precision machinery; Wabi Sabi remains a shapeless, odd looking, manual intensive thing among the perfect. Among our smartphones, smartwatches, and smart tv's, Wabi Sabi exists without an interface or design that we can interact with. We have network coverage everywhere, and wifi signal at every turn, yet we remain naked from the blanket of Wabi Sabi.

      When we look into our handheld devices, we see a picture perfect world staring back at us. Perfect people, perfect sunsets, and perfect lives that come through the many channels of social media that are consumed every day and at every moment. But when you look up for a second away from your device, you realize that the world in front of you isn't like this, it's,,,, imperfect, it's,,,, ugly,,,, it's,,,,, decaying. But when you see the ugliness, the decay, and the imperfection through the scope of Wabi Sabi,,,, it's,,,,,,, perfect. Once you've found Wabi Sabi, you don't require filters, nor autocorrections, nor anything high-tech to discover a beautiful place which is made from the imperfection, the ugly, and the decaying. You want to know what the funny part is? That we're just that, we are imperfect, we are ugly, and we are decaying, yet, that is what makes us perfect. This is the mythical creature many never come to find.

      The Paradox

      So going back to the question, how do we find Wabi Sabi? This question is a sort of paradox though, as how do you search for something that isn't to be found? How do you find what hasn't been missing? Have
