If you are interested in sustainable ways of living, and want to make a difference in the society, this is a must-read book. It will give you a totally new look on sustainability because it is a book on motivational success philosophy.

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.

Sachiaki Takamiya is the founder of the Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He developed these two health methods based on centenarians in Japanese blue zones and Shizenha people, Japanese naturalists who live in the countryside leading organic lifestyles. 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.

After returning to Japan, he gave workshops on holistic transformation based on his studies of both physical and psychological approaches.

He now lives in a small rural town called Hino town in Shiga Prefecture, one of Japan's longest-lived prefectures. He practices a Satoyama lifestyle there, growing vegetables and making fermented foods. Although he is 60 years old, he has had no problems at medical check-ups so far, and he was diagnosed that his vascular age was 21 years younger.

An enjoyable and satisfying insight into prosperous and sustainable living.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2017

Zen and a Way of Sustainable Prosperity was an enjoyable and satisfying book. It has the integrity of looking at success and sustainability together as necessary elements in a prosperous life. Sachiaki Takamiya draws together western success ideas with eastern Zen and Sanpo-Yoshi philosophy. The result is an inspiring guide to what a modern sustainable lifestyle looks like - a lifestyle that includes business prosperity, personal health and satisfaction, and cultivating the power to help create a better society and environment in general.

Making a living the ikigai way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Many people who reject the conventional measures of success in today’s capitalist society struggle to find an alternative way to make a reasonable living. By drawing on the tradition of Omi merchants, and mixing it with modern business and personal success philosophies, the author shows you don’t have to totally reject the world of commerce but can make it work in a way that aligns with your value system.
