Yasufumi Nakoshi

Yasufumi Nakoshi is a Japanese psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and bestselling author known for bridging modern mental health with Buddhist philosophy. Drawing on his clinical experience, Nakoshi explores how ancient Buddhist insights can be applied to contemporary psychological struggles, offering practical tools for reducing anxiety and cultivating a calmer, more meaningful life. His work focuses on fundamental human questions - how to cope with suffering, how to live with awareness, and how to find meaning in an uncertain world. Nakoshi argues that much of modern anxiety stems from avoiding life’s most basic existential question. By combining psychiatric insight with accessible Buddhist practice, he offers readers a clear and compassionate path toward greater psychological balance and peace.
