Ваби-саби – это стиль жизни, вдохновленный многовековой японской мудростью. Хотя жители Страны восходящего солнца редко говорят о нем вслух, именно ваби-саби пронизана вся жизнь японца.
Ваби-саби – альтернатива современному ритму жизни и ценностям, основанным на потреблении и стремлении к идеалу. Видеть красоту в несовершенстве, ценить простоту и радость момента, ощущать связь с природой и принимать мимолетность жизни, отбросить лишнее и сосредоточиться на важном – основные принципы этой вневременной концепции.
Эта книга – предложение расслабиться и ощутить красоту собственного бытия в каждом моменте, избавить его от всего напускного и открыть то, что внутри. Впустите ваби-саби в свою жизнь и найдите счастье прямо там, где вы находитесь.

“I am so jealous of Jared Diamond, for he writes with such an elegant simplicity! Here, he takes a loot at the endlessly fascinating topic of human sexuality His convincing arguments should persuade xm that there are very special reasons why we evolved to use sex for recreation as well as for procreatim whereas most other mammals are denied that pleasure…. It is a great little book, by one of the worlds foremost biological philosophers.”
— Roger Shohl, Professor of Physiology Monash University Australia
“Once again Jared Diamond provides us with answers to questions we may never have stopped to ask, but wish we had. In this long essay Diamond explains that recreational sex, while not unique to humans, is a rare behavior in the animal world. Above all, we learn, sexual activity divorced fron procreation is not only part of what it is to be human, but the very crux of our evolutionary success.”

With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a “yes woman” who routinely sacrifices herself. Contending that some women are “too nice,” comedian and radio show host Sherry Argov has written Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl—A Woman’s Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship.
“I’m not recommending that a woman have an abrasive disposition,” Argov writes, “The woman I’m describing is kind yet strong. She doesn’t give up her life, and she won't chase a man.”
Her sassy book is filled with scenarios and advice aimed at making women subtly stronger and self-empowered. Argov’s principles, which range from the farfetched to the downright absurd, include “If you give him a feeling of power, he'll want to protect you and he'll want to give you the world” and “A little distance combined with the appearance of self-control makes him nervous that he may be losing you.” The book, which has already been featured on The View and The O’Reilly Factor, should make waves with its controversial view of relationships.
