Through practical methods, it helps individuals recognize the often-unnoticed blessings and support received from others, fostering a profound sense of connection and forward movement in life.

It features essays, parables, poems, and reflection exercises, alongside new material focusing on relationships, a seven-day practice program, and guidelines for mental health professionals applying Naikan in counseling.
