Publisher's Synopsis
Find balance and peace in every moment Life is ephemeral and ever-changing; in Japan, it's called ukiyo--"floating world." How can we adapt to its fluctuations without being overcome? The answer is nagomi: a philosophy of balance--and the secret to a harmonious life. Neuroscientist Ken Mogi shares wisdom from Japanese history and culture to explain how nagomi can help you: ● have happy relationships with loved ones who disagree ● engage with the natural world without diminishing its beauty ● strive for improvement while accepting imperfection ● strike a balance to achieve calm. If you've ever enjoyed a perfect bite of sushi--fresh fish, white rice, a hint of wasabi, maybe with a sip of sake--then you've already tasted what nagomi can achieve. Combining philosophy and advice, this book brings that balance into your health, work, relationships, and sense of self with nagomido--The Way of Nagomi!
