Astrid Auxier

Astrid Auxier is an author and researcher specialising in Japanese philosophical traditions and their practical relevance in contemporary life. Having spent several years living and working in Japan, she developed a profound understanding of cultural practices rooted in mindfulness, continuous improvement, and intentional living. Her work focuses on integrating concepts such as Wabi-Sabi, Kaizen, and Ikigai into daily life, not as abstract theories, but as grounded, applicable frameworks for personal growth.

Drawing from real-life observations, from small businesses to family rituals, Auxier presents these time-honoured ideas as accessible tools for cultivating resilience, clarity, and purpose. Her ongoing research explores the intersection of traditional wisdom and modern life, contributing to a growing body of writing that bridges cultural insight with meaningful, everyday practice.
