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.

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.

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.
