From the Japanese countryside
Life lived at your own pace. From Microsoft to the Japanese countryside: writing about slow living, food, and the practice of making your life feel more yours.
About MIYZU
Writing about slow living, food, and the practice of making your life feel more yours.
The Practice
My name, and the Japanese word for water: 水 (mizu). Water moves around obstacles, finds another way, never forcing its path. That image stayed with me — and maybe it’ll stay with you too.
We spend a lot of time living at someone else’s pace. Reacting to what’s asked of us, worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, moving through days that don’t quite feel like ours. Slow life is the alternative: being present, moving at your own tempo, keeping your attention where you actually are.
MIYZU is what I reach for when I’ve lost that. Just two questions I began asking myself in moments when life felt too loud, too full, or a little out of alignment.
I found them in my old journals while writing this book: the same two questions, showing up across different years and situations, present in every choice I hadn’t regretted. I named them MIYZU, and they’re the heart of the book.
MIYZU is a practice for building a life that feels more yours.
The two questions
“Does this make my life feel more mine?”
“Is this a real issue right now?”

The Book
There's a version of success that looks perfect and feels like nothing. This book is about leaving it behind and the slow living practice I built along the way. Slow life is a decision you make, again and again, in the small moments.
