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!
