Learn how to embrace the adversity in your life, heal your wounds, and build a more resilient you with Celine Santini's self-care book inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi.
Winner of the 2020 Independent Audiobook Award for Best Female Narrator and Best Non-Fiction.
Broken, but not defeated. In the Japanese art of kintsugi, cracked pottery is not hidden or discarded. Instead, the fractured seams are sealed with gold, transforming the damage into a visible story of survival and renewed beauty. The cracks become part of the art—not a flaw to conceal, but a testament to resilience.
Guided by that philosophy, Kintsugi offers a compassionate, hands-on pathway to embracing adversity, healing internal wounds, and reclaiming your wholeness. Through reflective writing exercises, personal testimonies, and practical steps, Celine Santini shows you how to tend the broken pieces, let the light in, and allow your own "golden seams" to shine.
This book will resonate with seekers of personal growth and self-care who yearn for a gentle, creative method to move through pain and with anyone facing transition, loss, or inner fracture who are looking for a guide to not just survive—but to emerge more luminous.
Audio edition contains meditations adapted from writing exercises for an enhanced listening experience.
