In The Practice of Organizing Worries, celebrated Japanese Buddhist monk Kusanagi Ryushun presents a revolutionary framework for understanding and resolving the anxieties that plague modern life. Drawing from ancient Buddhist wisdom refined through decades of practice and teaching, he reveals that all human worries—regardless of how complex they seem—can be categorized into just five types, each with its own specific solution.

Unlike typical self-help books that offer generic advice, Kusanagi provides a systematic "mental decluttering" method inspired by Japan's famous tidying philosophy, but applied to the mind. His approach is logical, practical, and remarkably effective: identify which of the five labels applies to your worry, then apply the specific remedy for that type.
