In addition to blogging about Japan, I’ve also written and published a series of self-help books! ✍️

The Japanese Pursuit of Perfection is a term I coined to describe the attitudes, philosophies, and cultural traditions of the Japanese people in their efforts to create an ideal society.

Known for its rich history, artistic excellence, and code of honor, this small island nation has always set itself apart as a society that is both culturally appealing and a little mysterious.

This book features 10 of my most profound observations as a foreign resident living in Japan and how we can adopt some of the mindsets of the Japanese for the betterment of our own lives.

With each chapter, I aim to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western philosophy, revealing the wisdom behind each archetypal civilization and exposing the lack on either side.

In the spirit of increasing our understanding of humanity and our connection to the divine, may this book be a guide for your own journey toward happiness and fulfillment.
