It guides us to a way of living with inner peace aligned with our soul’s true wishes. \nIn a world of instant gratification\, where happiness and fulfilment often seem elusive\, Yoshuku 予祝 – the Japanese art of manifesting through gratitude and pre-celebration – offers a path forward. Rooted in ancient spiritual beliefs and practices\, Yoshuku reveals the secrets of a time-honoured Japanese approach to bringing your soul’s wishes to fruition. By the gentle power of celebrating your hopes in advance\, nurturing your wellbeing each day\, you invite them into reality. This book makes this culturally specific Japanese concept applicable to everyone around the world. Imagine your life as a Sakura tree\, with your wishes as its blossoms. Strong\, healthy roots are essential for them to bloom\, and Azumi Uchitani shares how to nurture these roots. \n\n \n\nAbout Azumi Uchitani \nA renowned cross-cultural communication consultant\, international keynote speaker\, artist\, and a leading authority on Japan\, Azumi is dedicated to sharing the profound aspects of Japanese life philosophy with the world. \nYoshuku\, the Japanese Art of Manifesting\, is a cultivation of Azumi’s academic knowledge and expertise combined with her deeply personal experiences\, including her near-death experience and recovery\, and how she incorporated her learnings of ancient Japanese wisdom into her own life. As a native Japanese author writing in English\, Yoshuku bridges Japanese and Western cultures in contemporary society. \nAzumi has lived and worked half of her life in Europe and internationally\, giving her experience and understanding of Western societies\, cultures\, and the modern stresses of the corporate world (IT\, Finance\, M&A). Currently based in Dublin\, Azumi serves as a Council member of the Ireland Japan Association. \nEvent is free but previous registration is required: Please register here! \nThis book talk is co-organised by the Trinity Centre for Asian Studies and the Ireland Japan Association\, with support from the Trinity Long Room Hub and Penguin Random House UK. \n  \nThe book is available online and in store (please check with your local book store). \nAvailable from publisher: Penguin UK| Available on Amazon | Available in eBook and audiobook format \n  \n \n  \n
