The holistic life concept of nagomi means harmony and balance. The Japanese neuroscientist Ken Mogi explains this practical yet philosophical principle in an understandable way in this book. He demonstrates how to integrate nagomi into everyday life to lead a balanced life.

People who have achieved nagomi understand that happiness also includes misfortune, love also involves loss, altruism can coexist with self-interest, and pleasure is accompanied by work. They realize that one can only lead a harmonious life by not only accepting all aspects of life but also bringing them into balance with one another. This is the path to joy in life.

Ken Mogi skillfully paints a picture of this philosophy, which is popular and deeply rooted in Japan. He shows not only how we can become less stressed, more relaxed, and more resilient through nagomi, but also what this means for our daily lives, our relationships, our health, and our society.

The author's particular strength lies in his ability to motivate his readers.
