An interview with Professor Yukiko Uchida (Director of the Institute for the Future of Human Society) has been published in Psychology Today, a leading psychology magazine in the United States.

In the article, titled “Japanese Wisdom for a Good Life”, Professor Uchida shares insights into how Japanese cultural values—such as balance, interdependence, and acceptance of imperfection—shape unique approaches to well-being. Drawing on both traditional and contemporary perspectives, the article highlights how Japan’s relational view of happiness contrasts with more individual-centered models commonly seen in the West.
