Nevertheless, it isn’t like regular motivational books at all. Even if you have been put off by conventional success philosophies before, you will be surprised how different it is.
The author discovered a secret of Omi-merchants who were one of the most successful merchants in Japan from medieval to the 19th century. The secret is not just a tip for you to be prosperous; it is a way for everyone to be prosperous and pass the prosperity on to seven generations into the future.
The author developed a new philosophy called Zen and a Way of Sustainable Prosperity based on this secret. It will help you become more effective and resilient at what you are doing so that you will be able to enjoy your sustainable lifestyle and influence society in a positive way. While ikigai is a secret for happiness and longevity, Zen and a Way of Sustainable Prosperity is a wisdom for happiness, longevity, sustainability, prosperity, and enlightenment.
It is good for people who are interested in permaculture, localization, and spirituality; especially self-employed people such as Yoga instructors, psychotherapists, healers, coaches, organic farmers, restaurant owners, shop owners, writers, and musicians who would like to keep the balance of financial success and sustainability.

He won the outstanding performance award of the Next Publishing Award in March 2022 with the book, The Ikigai Diet.
In his early 20s, he lived in England, where he studied Shiatsu and macrobiotics at the British School of Shiatsu, studied different kinds of psychotherapies at the Center for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education, and at the School of Hypnosis and Advanced Psychotherapy.
