Title: Where's the Wabi Sabi?
Product review: If you are looking for serious insight into the concept of Wabi Sabi there is no need to buy this book. After living in Japan for 15 years and a casual student of Zen I decided to take a look at Wabi Sabi and this was one of the books I picked up. It soon ended up in the rubbish. It is a sappy story of a boy getting comfort from his grandmother in the wake of a divorce.Curious about its author I googled "Taro Gold" and found he is no more than a kid, a former child "talent" and model, current pretty boy, J-Pop wannabe, yoga instructor and spoiled rich kid. Will give the kid credit for actually writing and publishing books which is more than most people do in a lifetime (probably with the help of his wealthy family of whom he speaks of in an interview linked to his website) but, again, there is no Wabi Sabi here and that is what you have come here looking for, right?
