In our age of hyperconnectivity and information overload, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. Weeks blur into months and accomplishments quickly fade into the next obligation. Important decisions get made in reaction to circumstances instead of in alignment with our deepest values. How do we regain our sense of perspective on what matters? In Life in Perspective, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tiago Forte distills the ancient practice of the annual life review into a modern, step-by-step method—drawing on nearly twenty years of personal practice and the experience of teaching it to thousands of people worldwide. At the heart of this book is the ARC Method: Appreciate the Past, Reflect on the Present, and Create the Future. Through guided journaling, gratitude practices, visualization exercises, thoughtfully designed prompts, you will learn how to revisit the year you’ve lived, uncover hidden patterns in your experiences, identify what is most alive for you now, and translate those insights into meaningful projects and plans for the future. Whether you turn to it as a yearly ritual or a trusted guide during pivotal moments, Life in Perspective is not a book about doing more. It is a book about seeing more clearly—and discovering that the biggest changes in life often begin not with a new plan, but with a new point of view.

Writing at the beginning of the twentieth century, Ryunosuke Akutagawa created disturbing stories out of Japan's cultural upheaval. Whether his fictions are set centuries past or close to the present, Akutagawa was a modernist, writing in polished, superbly nuanced prose subtly exposing human needs and flaws. "In a Grove," which was the basis for Kurosawa's classic film Rashomon, tells the chilling story of the killing of a samurai through the testimony of witnesses, including the spirit of the murdered man. The fable-like "Yam Gruel" is an account of desire and humiliation, but one in which the reader's sympathy is thoroughly unsettled. And in "The Martyr," a beloved orphan raised by Jesuit priests is exiled when he refuses to admit that he made a local girl pregnant. He regains their love and respect only at the price of his life. All six tales in the collection show Akutagawa as a master storyteller and an exciting voice of modern Japanese literature.

Eiji Yoshikawa’s classic samurai novel about the real exploits of the most famous swordsman. New Edition features a new cover design by the creator of Slam Dunk and Vagabond, Takehiko Inoue! Miyamoto Musashi was the child of an era when Japan was emerging from decades of civil strife. Lured to the great Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 by the hope of becoming a samurai--without really knowing what it meant--he regains consciousness after the battle to find himself lying defeated, dazed and wounded among thousands of the dead and dying. On his way home, he commits a rash act, becomes a fugitive and brings life in his own village to a standstill--until he is captured by a weaponless Zen monk. The lovely Otsu, seeing in Musashi her ideal of manliness, frees him from his tortuous punishment, but he is recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he delves into the classics of Japan and China. When he is set free again, he rejects the position of samurai and for the next several years pursues his goal relentlessly, looking neither to left nor to right. Ever so slowly it dawns on him that following the Way of the Sword is not simply a matter of finding a target for his brute strength. Continually striving to perfect his technique, which leads him to a unique style of fighting with two swords simultaneously, he travels far and wide, challenging fighters of many disciplines, taking nature to be his ultimate and severest teacher and undergoing the rigorous training of those who follow the Way. He is supremely successful in his encounters, but in the Art of War he perceives the way of peaceful and prosperous governance and disciplines himself to be a real human being He becomes a reluctant hero to a host of people whose lives he has touched and been touched by. And, inevitably, he has to pit his skill against the naked blade of his greatest rival. Musashi is a novel in the best tradition of Japanese story telling. It is a living story, subtle and imaginative, teeming with memorable characters, many of them historical. Interweaving themes of unrequited love, misguided revenge, filial piety and absolute dedication to the Way of the Samurai, it depicts vividly a world Westerners know only vaguely. Full of gusto and humor, it has an epic quality and universal appeal. The novel was made into a three-part movie by Director Hiroshi Inagai. For more information, visit the Shopping area
