Abstract

In Japanese society, intensifying competition in several professional arenas is expected to gradually continue, and it is said that a “super competitive society” will develop in the near future. Under such circumstances, the psychological, physical, and interpersonal burdens imposed on people will become more significant, and as a result, it is expected that health problems, performance inhibitions, and dilution of social relations will worsen. As a means of addressing this issue, Japanese society must adjust its solution from that of traditional Western methods such as the top-down approach to a new strategy. This strategy is a body-to-mind approach based on the bottom-up approach transmitted in Oriental culture.
