Small steps to hope, healing and happiness

Slow down, find joy in each moment, and discover how the art of folding paper can lead to a happier, more hopeful life in this inspiring book from Michael James Wong, a leading voice in the global mindfulness movement.

In Japan, the paper crane is a symbol of peace, hope, and healing. It is considered the “bird of happiness,” a mystical and majestic creature that according to myth can live for a thousand years. Tradition has it that if a person were to fold one thousand paper cranes in a single year, they would be gifted one special wish that would grant long life, healing from illness or injury, and eternal happiness. The tradition of folding one thousand paper cranes is called Senbazuru (“sen” meaning “one thousand” and “orizuru” meaning “paper crane”). In this book, renowned yoga and meditation teacher Michael James Wong brings Senbazuru to life as an inspiring philosophy that encourages slowing down and taking many small steps on our own personal path. This is a book of small steps and gentle wisdoms to heal your soul and help you find your own path to happiness.

“If you cannot find something to be thankful for you are moving too fast.”

— Michael James Wong, Senbazuru
