The Way of Nagomi: The Japanese Philosophy of Finding Balance and Peace in Everything You Do by Ken Mogi

3.0

I’ve always been interested in Japan and Japanese culture so I was immediately attracted to learning about Nagomi and what it means to the Japanese culture. The book tagline summarizes Nagomi perfectly that it is a way of finding balance and peace in everything that you do, so that you can get through all and anything life throws your way in a peaceful and happy way. The book is divided into different topics (relationships, food, life, nature, etc) and uses some core principles to support funding Nagomi.

While I found the overall concepts, culture, and ideas really interesting and gripping, the actual book writing felt very slow and somewhat repetitive in nature to me. It also felt a bit like a historical textbook in some parts and I might have appreciated more practical guidance in a succinct way more.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
