The Way of Nagomi: The Japanese Art of Living with Peace and Harmony

Nagomi is a unique Japanese concept with no direct equivalent in English — yet it holds the potential to transform how we experience life. Rooted deeply in Japanese culture, nagomi means achieving emotional balance, inner peace, and a sense of harmonious living, even in the face of life’s unpredictability.

From the delicate blend of flavors in traditional Japanese cuisine to the fleeting beauty of cherry blossom season, nagomi is woven into everyday life in Japan. It is the wisdom of accepting both joy and hardship with grace, and finding peace in the ebb and flow of existence.

In this insightful and inspiring book, internationally renowned author and neuroscientist Ken Mogi explores how we can apply the philosophy of nagomi in our own lives. Drawing from history, tradition, and cultural practices, he offers practical tools to help us embrace the world as it is — and create a life of balance, contentment, and quiet joy.

A gentle yet powerful guide for anyone seeking calm in a chaotic world.
