How can you and I contribute to creating a more peaceful, sustainable world in these divided times? With an unwavering belief in the goodness of humankind, New York Times bestselling author Ilchi Lee gives a compelling answer to this question.
We are living in a very special time. We are enveloped in layers of problems―the pandemic, climate change, modern warfare, artificial intelligence―any one of which could drive humankind to a catastrophic end. What these various problems have in common is that they cannot be solved by any particular individual or group; they can only be solved when we all gather our strength together in solidarity.
Though there are many serious problems, there is just one solution for solving them, and it’s simple: harmonious coexistence, a way of life based on the bone-deep realization of every individual that "I myself, other people, and the earth are an inseparable oneness."
Coexistence is not one of many approaches to living. It is the only way we can sustain life for long. More than any new technology or infrastructure, we desperately need this understanding and attitude to achieve a viable planet.
The foundation of this book is the belief that the human mind has the inherent ability to make coexistence possible. Finding this ability hidden within us and learning how to use it is a new art we can pursue and develop.
In The Art of Coexistence, Ilchi Lee, in collaboration with Steve Kim, details the core concepts and principles of this art, as well as practical methods for making use of them. Examining the societal, educational, and spiritual changes we need to establish true coexistence, Lee and Kim lay the philosophical groundwork to build a better world―starting today.

Editorial Reviews
Review
The Art of Coexistence masterfully addresses both the root causes of our anxieties about the rapidly unfolding existential threats to our future, while providing at the same time a simple paradigm and practical strategy out of this dilemma.
- Emeran A. Mayer, MD, Ph.D., author of The Mind-Gut Connection
This book strikes a resonant chord, beginning with recognizing that solutions to our environmental crises lie not outside of us, but within us. Grounded in love for all beings, the authors take the reader by the hand to remind us of our innate ability to live harmoniously on planet Earth through proactive and warm-hearted coexistence.
- Craig Elevitch Ph.D., director of Agroforestry Net
Ilchi Lee’s book, The Art of Coexistence, shows us how we can live more meaningful and joyful lives while also contributing to the sustainability of the planet. It is inspirational as well as practical, and it points the way toward a more harmonious future. It arrives at the perfect time.
- Rev. Barry Ebert, minister at Mile Hi Church
Ilchi Lee dreams BIG. In The Art of Coexistence, he examines society’s problems and outlines ways to solve them. He also thinks small, reminding us that the age of man is insignificant in Earth’s history and that the answer lies within each of us. He explains how people and society can align with nature and heal in the process. I think he’s on to something.
- Laura Langford, chairwoman of Amerikazentrum Hamburg
This book is a personal call to action to redesign how we exist with ourselves, with each other, and with the earth. A timely piece after emerging from a worldwide pandemic to support us with concrete steps we can take toward a healthy and fulfilling existence while changing the fate of our planet.
- Candice Bataille, founder and president of Glowmundo

Through a series of exercises and practices, Lee encourages readers to become more mindful of their thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and to develop greater empathy and compassion towards themselves and others.
Another notable feature of "The Art of Coexistence" is the way in which Lee integrates insights from both Eastern and Western philosophical and spiritual traditions to offer a holistic and inclusive approach to coexistence.

“The Art of Coexistence: How You and I Can Save The world” delivers an urgent warning that if we continue to make choices selfishly and recklessly toward the Earth and the environment, we are putting humanity and the world as we know it, on a path of certain destruction. Yet, the book fills us with hope and a sense of personal power by reminding us that we are a part of an interconnected whole, one with the Earth, all life and each other and as such have the power, even as individuals, to influence the whole for good. Humans are endowed with the qualities of empathy, compassion, benevolence, introspection and conscience which can guide us to act in ways that benefit the whole rather than harm it.
Yes, there is hope and there is power, because we are Human, and though we may often feel small and powerless, as individuals, to affect positive change when confronted with big challenges, we are especially equipped to do so. Our “humaneness” can be the impetus for us to make the changes in our daily lives that can add up and alter the course of our future and the future of all life on Earth. One by one, together our actions can collectively grow into a vast grass roots force for change. A change that can indeed save the world!
Any one who is concerned about the health of the Earth and its environment, and our ability to thrive here should read this book. It will inspire and empower you to see a bright future and to play an active role in creating it!

The book, “The Art of Coexistence” needed to be written now. It makes one examine the mind and consciousness. There were several things mentioned in the book that I had just a little knowledge of - I took time to educate myself through other sources as I read, so I could have a clearer understanding of what was being presented by the author Ilchi Lee (with Steve Kim). AI was just two letters associated with concern and trepidation in my mind…
The feeling, however, that this world is so close to destruction, is in all of us. Knowing we can change this self-destructive course by working together, sharing ideas, and inherent wisdom, is the way. Practical, creative, and very possible solutions, are addressed in this wonderful book
I am grateful that this book was written, at this time and at this place. It is a substantial gift to all life.

The Art Of Coexistence is written for all who wish to create a sustainable world at a time when the Earth looks like it will soon become unhabitable for humans—due to our own activities. The layout of the book is very orderly and makes for easy reading. And it eloquently proposes actions we can undertake for our growth and evolution, which in turn will help our planet.
One interesting concept is that the authors go beyond the traditional ideas of sustainable living and mention new, cutting edge virtual-reality movements taking place around the world involving politics, technology, and economics. I find these new ideas very interesting and inspiring. Overall the message of the book is one of hope if we take action now.

The Art of Coexistence is not only a "must read" but a necessary and critical call to action for all of humanity. Although our current situation at times seems daunting, keeping hope, living with intention and taking even small steps for the benefit of the Earth and all humanity, we can keep the dream of coexistence alive. Thank you Ilchi Lee and Steve Kim for your insightful view of our current situation and practical steps to ignite what already exists inside of us. I look forward to sharing this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Ray of Hope
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2023
In a world where hopelessness and cynicism seem to be the norm, it's refreshing to come across a book that offers a ray of hope. With wisdom, insight, and compassion, the authors encourage readers to look beyond the challenges of our personal lives and the problems in the world and embrace a more optimistic outlook.
What I appreciated most about this book is that it doesn't gloss over the very real issues we face as a society. Instead, Lee and Kim acknowledge these challenges and offer practical guidance on how we can work together to create positive change. They remind us that we all have a role to play in building a better world and that even small acts of kindness and compassion can have a ripple effect that extends far beyond ourselves.
I found The Art of Coexistence to be a thought-provoking and inspiring read. It reminded me that no matter how daunting the problems we face may seem, there is always hope for a better future if we're willing to take action and work towards positive change. Highly recommended for anyone who could use a little more optimism in their lives.

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023
I just finished listening to this book for the first time - I will listen again and may purchase a hard copy to read and take notes. The authors share about the necessary choice of human beings to embrace coexistence. Although the book was full of information, I was most touched by the human element. My heart was touched more than my brain was impressed. I feel compelled to take action right away. I hope everyone has a chance to read/listen to this book and then share it with others.

Coexistence, in Brain Education, is not just about recognizing each other's equal right to exist in this world or about not doing harm to another person. Coexistence is based on the understanding that ALL LIFE ON EARTH IS INTERCONNECTED and that we need to TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER FOR SURVIVAL. Coexistence is the only way we can thrive together in the long run to achieve a sustainable planet. We've invited the Founder of Brain Education, Ilchi Lee for this LIVE broadcast on the topic of COEXISTENCE in collaboration with Earth Management TV. 🔔SUBSCRIBE for weekly videos (and click the bell!) ► https://bit.ly/2QKgnje 👕Brain Education TV Merch ► https://bit.ly/3yxXqqu ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR THIS VIDEO Experience an IN-PERSON Brain Education yoga class at ► https://www.bodynbrain.com Experience an ONLINE Brain Education yoga class at ► https://www.changeyourenergy.com WHAT IS BRAIN EDUCATION TV? Brain Education TV provides mental health and mental wellness videos to help young adults with loneliness, depression, and anxiety. The foundation of our content comes from Brain Education, an academic study from South Korea that stems from over 40 years of research and application and has been practiced by millions around the world. WHY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH… We suffered from high-functioning loneliness and depression our whole lives. We lived different lives in different states, but when we met, we realized we were struggling with common issues that reflected an important problem in our young adult generation. We didn’t know who we were, what we were passionate about, what we should live for, and what direction our lives were “supposed” to go. We spent a lot of time wandering in search of that magical ‘answer’ that will solve all problems (like I’m sure most of you are doing right now), and yet the further we searched outside, the more pronounced the emptiness inside of us felt. Millions of people suffer silently from mental health related issues. Yet our society still places taboos around openly talking about relevant mental health topics like loneliness, depression, and anxiety. As a result, our young adults don’t know how to talk about it constructively, where to turn to, or what resources they have to combat this real-life threat to their wellbeing. We credit Brain Education for giving us the courage to overcome our own mental health struggles and create the lives we want...and now we hope you can too through the videos we share on this channel.
