About the book:
Raised in the tumult of Japan’s industrial powerhouse, the 11 men and women profiled in A Different Kind of Luxury have all made the transition to sustainable, fulfilling lives. Based on Andy Couturier's popular articles in The Japan Times, this lushly-designed volume has a wealth of stories about real people--artists, philosophers, farmers, and activists--who have created an abundance of time for contemplation, connecting with the natural world, and contributing to their communities.  In their success is a lesson for us all: live a life that matters.
