Imagine a bowl, cracked and seemingly useless. Most of us would toss it out. But what if, instead, those cracks were mended with gold, transforming the broken object into something even more beautiful than before? This is the art of kintsugi, a Japanese philosophy that teaches us how to embrace flaws and failures as opportunities for growth and transformation. Today, we’ll explore how this perspective aligns with Stoicism and how it can help us turn failure and loss into resilience and strength.

“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”

— Ernest Hemingway
