About The Book

Learn how to embrace the adversity in your life, heal your wounds, and build a more resilient you with Celine Santini’s award-winning self-care book inspired by the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi.

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, Celine Santini's 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, 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.

Raves and Reviews

“This practical guide will help you overcome rough times, heal your deepest wounds, and become whole again through numerous stages, writing exercises, and testimonies." (Book Riot)

“Maybe Celine and I are sisters from different mothers. Maybe our souls speak the same language. One this is certain:  we understand, in a very visual and clear way, the power of the Kintsugi message. This message correspondingly gives us hope and gives us strength while empowering us to keep fighting, fixing, and working on our healing.” (Mikah Fashion)
