[About the Book]

—The Path to Living in Harmony with Life and the Earth—

Global warming, environmental destruction, and the endless cycles of war and division—
At the root of these crises lies humanity’s separation from nature and the loss of our connection to one another.

In this book, an agricultural scholar engages in profound dialogues with four thinkers and practitioners who have each devoted their lives to exploring themes of life, nature, and peace.
Among them are:

A filmmaker who has long documented the life and work of Mother Teresa,

A farmer who practices “natural farming”—a method that requires no plowing, fertilizers, or pesticides,

An environmental activist leading a citizens’ network that strives for a happier society under the motto “For a Beautiful Earth for Our Children”, and

A documentary creator who portrays the Earth as a single living being.

Through their conversations, the book delves into the question:
What does it mean to live sincerely—facing nature, connecting with others, and walking in harmony with life itself?
In their words, we find both guidance and hope for rediscovering our place within the living world.

[Editor’s Comment]

When we talk about environmental issues, we often ask, “How can humanity protect the Earth?”
But what if we instead saw ourselves as part of the Earth’s living system?
This shift in perspective can transform the way we understand and respond to the challenges of our time.

This book invites readers to make that shift—to rediscover the oneness between humans and nature, and to feel the deep connection that sustains all life on Earth.
