Learning how to live a fulfilling life in an era of population decline from remote island regions that have continued to face the problems of population decline and aging
In the coming age, what is necessary to live a fulfilling life is people and systems that support each other. In this book , "island thinking" refers to perceiving and thinking about the world from the perspective of communities where people support each other. "Island thinking" is a way of thinking necessary for living on island nations with harsh natural conditions, and it is often found in environments where there is not much, such as islands and remote areas, where there is not much.
This book is based around seven key points, and through "Ways" collected from Japan's islands and "Dialogues" held with experts and key people, it offers island thinking that provides hints for living a spiritually fulfilling life from the perspectives of "self," "society," and "the Earth," as well as ways of life that can be learned from remote islands.
With the hope that many people will put into practice what they have learned from this book, the book includes a "practical worksheet" that encourages readers to stop and think about what "island" means to them, as well as a "list of Japan's inhabited remote islands" that serves as the field of study.
