5 Practical Books I'm Glad I Read in 2024!

Good evening!
I'm Rie, a book-loving writer!

Following yesterday's novel edition, I'd like to introduce the practical books I encountered this year that I especially recommend♪

Pick Up a Pen on Lonely Nights by Fumitake Koga

Through the conversations between Takojiro and the old man, the difficulty and importance of "writing" are discussed, making this a very easy-to-understand book.

In this world, you can find answers immediately by searching online, and it's overflowing with plausible opinions that you can easily pass off as your own.

Precisely because we live in such a world, I deeply felt the importance of thinking for myself and writing down my own feelings in my own words.

This is a book I want to recommend to all men and women of all ages who want to break free from their own suffering!

Decluttering to Organize My Inner Self: How to Create "White Space" for Happiness to Visit by Minimalist Masumi

Today, I'll Spoil Myself by Saeri Natsuo

This work is overflowing with ways of thinking and words that I want to cherish.

Try doing various things without stopping to overthink them
If it doesn't work out, you can just stop
Value is decided by others; don't assign your own value yourself
You only need one or two things you truly can't compromise on
While you're worrying, continuing to worry is the best solution
and so on.

Ah~ those are words I wanted someone to say to me~ they really resonate in my heart.

I'm stubborn, so I often get tied up and suffer from my own "I must do it this way!" mindset.
I wanted to read this book over and over again during those times.

This is a book I want people who are working hard every day to read!

I Decided to Work Hard at Not Working Hard by Kangaeru OL

I want those who are holding onto the feeling that their hard work isn't paying off... to read this book.

The author, Kangaeru OL, also dreamed of working in the music industry for a long time, but now works in a completely different industry.

【There is happiness even in a future you didn't intend】
These words gave me chills.

I haven't become the cool adult I imagined when I was a child at all, but I was reminded once again that my current life isn't bad either, and it's overflowing with small happinesses.

Words to Cherish Like an Amulet by Yataro Matsuura

This is a book that will become my life guide! Haha

Every page is wonderful, and you can fully feel the power that words hold.

I really love how Yataro Matsuura carefully weaves each word, and by encountering the words he has cherished throughout his life, I feel a sense of being straightened up and refreshed.

This year, I restarted my note and took on the challenge of posting every day for 90 days.
I feel like the last three months of 2024 were all about note. Haha

To everyone who read my articles,
To everyone who gave me a 'like',
To everyone who followed me,

Thank you for meeting me!

I want to keep doing my best next year while being grateful for each and every thing, never taking them for granted!

Wishing you a happy New Year♡
