When I was talking about how, even in Japan,
one out of six children can only rely on school lunch,
someone told me, “It’s now one in five,” and I was stunned.
I want to do something to solve this〜〜〜

I summarized Dr. Hideto Tomabechi’s ideas using AI.
↓↓↓
Based on a website article from CoacH T, which researches Tomabechi Theory and practices the Tomabechi Method, here is an overview of the key points of Dr. Hideto Tomabechi’s theory.
Core Concepts of Tomabechi Theory
(Goal Setting in Coaching & the Definition of Work)**
The main points explained in this blog article are:
“Set goals outside your current reality,” and “Define work correctly.”
These are fundamental principles of Tomabechi-style coaching, rooted in cognitive science.
1. Principles of Goal Setting: Outside the Current Reality (Outside the Comfort Zone)
In Tomabechi-style coaching, goals must be set outside your current self (outside your comfort zone / CZ).
Outside the Current Reality
This means envisioning a new possible world (w1) that is not obvious or easy for your current self—something for which the method is not immediately clear.
Doing this shifts the brain’s perception so that the necessary information for achieving the goal becomes visible (removing scotoma, or blind spots).
Balance Wheel
This refers to categorizing your life in order to redefine the “self” (ego).
Examples: career, hobbies, health, finance, family, etc.
In most categories, goals must be set “outside the current reality.”
Exceptions: Family & Health
For categories like family and health, the goal is often to “maintain the optimal state”—to preserve a healthy, ideal comfort zone (CZ).
This is considered a healing zone, which sustains the mindset needed to keep pursuing “outside reality” goals in other areas (maintaining prefrontal cortex dominance).
2. Clear Separation Between Work (Occupation) and Finance (Money)
In Tomabechi Theory, distinguishing between occupation (work) and finance is essential.
| Category | Definition | Purpose & Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Occupation (Work) | Providing your function to society—creating value. | Discover the needs of society (or community) and provide new functions (goals outside current reality). |
| Finance | Converting function/value into monetary value. | Set financial goals separately from the goals of “work.” |
Escaping Social Conditioning
People often think “work = a way to make money,” but Tomabechi Theory calls this social conditioning.
Work is defined as:
“Providing functions that contribute to society.”
Money arises only because today’s society operates under capitalism.
The article gives examples:
Ancient communal living
A doctor helping someone who collapses on an airplane
In those cases, providing value is separate from money.
A full-time homemaker is also seen as having a legitimate occupation, because they provide essential functions within the “society” of the household.
There are always new needs to discover there, which become goals for that occupation.
3. Principle of Action: “Invent on the Way” (Improvisational Method)
When you set a goal outside your current reality, the methods or roles needed to reach it are not clear at the beginning.
For the specific function you will provide (“plan-side”), the approach is:
Invent on the way
You discover and update the methods as you go.
If the role or method is already clear from the beginning, that means the goal is within your current reality—
which means it is not a true “outside the current reality” goal.
For goals outside the current reality, the recommended approach is:
Move forward lightly, improvising along the way.

Definition of “Goal”
Key Points of the Concept of “Goal” in Tomabechi Theory
1. Definition and Role of a Goal
Definition:
A goal is the purpose of your life—the thing that generates your future.
Principle:
Lou Tice, the founder of modern coaching, stated:
“The goal comes first. Recognition follows.”
Effect:
Setting a goal generates energy, creativity, and awareness,
and determines the world you perceive—
in other words, the world that becomes visible to you.
2. Three Important Points for Goal Setting
When setting goals, three conditions are essential:
1. It must be something your heart truly desires.
Be honest with yourself.
It’s okay if the first goals you set are low in abstraction.
2. Let go of self-centeredness.
As abstraction increases, your goals naturally evolve into ones
that contribute to the happiness of many people.
3. Set goals outside your current reality.
Goals must be placed outside your comfort zone—
beyond what feels normal or doable for your current self,
in a place where the method is not yet known.
3. Self-Coaching vs. the Role of a Professional Coach
The difficulty of self-coaching:
The deeper you try to face yourself,
the harder it becomes to remove your own scotoma (blind spots).
This makes self-directed goal setting extremely challenging.
Why a coach is necessary:
A true professional coach helps you remove the scotoma
you cannot remove on your own,
and supports you in setting goals your heart genuinely desires.
If someone else decides your goals for you—
a state of psychological “slavery”—
you will never feel true joy, even if you succeed.
Process of achieving goals:
As you move toward your goal:
Your level of abstraction (breadth of perspective) increases
Your efficacy (sense of confidence in achieving the goal) rises
And you become able to enjoy your life more deeply.
Additional Note
The author also emphasizes the importance of the Balance Wheel—
setting balanced goals across the different domains of life.
This balance also plays a key role in maintaining a healthy, healing mindset.
