It's okay to run away, it's okay to be greedy,
it's okay to let go and say "Oh well"
Why don't you change your way of thinking and perceiving things just a little bit?
There are 82 such hints.
Moreover, it's in a Q&A format on two-page spreads.
In addition, there are 7 columns called "Hints for things to go well".
It is composed of 8 chapters, and the 82 Q&As are
Chapter 1: Make yourself the protagonist
Chapter 2: Take action
Chapter 3: Dig deeper into the reasons
Chapter 4: Change your perspective
Chapter 5: Choose your words
Chapter 6: Do not confront
Chapter 7: Set yourself free
These are the 7 chapters.
It answers consultation cases (questions) received so far with hints and explanations from the author.
The final 8th chapter is "Thinking about questions without answers".
・What is happiness?
・What is being yourself?
・What does it mean to become an adult?
・What does it mean to get older?
・How can I overcome the past?
・How should I face death?
Six questions that can be called universal, and hints that lead to their answers are provided concisely.
Oh, by the way, the author likes the word "hint".
It is not a final form like a conclusion or result, nor does it have the strength of advice or counsel. (Omitted) It changes nothing just by obtaining it; it only becomes useful after you obtain it, think about it, and take action yourself. (Omitted) That might be the reason why I like it too.
As the subtitle says "your heart feels light and airy," none of the hints are judgmental or pushy; they are soft and gentle.
It's okay not to think things like "I have to change," "I must change," or "Even though I have to, I can't."
It means you can just place the judgment of "Oh well" between "That was good" and "That's a problem" (P73).
From here on, it's a memo for myself.
Because if I don't keep telling myself this, I tend to think, "I'll just endure it myself."
You should cherish the people who cherish you. (Omitted) Because that also leads to cherishing yourself.
"You are the one who knows your own good points" (Omitted) Even if people evaluate you poorly, that is only a very small part of who you are. (Omitted) No matter how people see you, there is no need to worry about it.
When you are really not feeling well, it is okay to be "full with just taking care of yourself." Prioritize your physical condition, rely on those around you, and let's spend time without pushing yourself.
Give yourself permission to run away. (Omitted) We are allowed to live more easily. (Omitted) While there are various cases, if there is a more comfortable situation, choose that.
The 82 questioners vary in age, position, and situation.
Of course, the content of the questions also varies.
Perhaps you might find something that makes you feel, "I'm in the same situation," "I wanted to know this," or "I want to ask for advice too."
I think you might encounter ways of thinking and perspectives that will serve as hints before taking your next step.
