How to Choose "Quality Books" and the Value Reading Brings to Life✨

Did Michael Jackson only have one day off a year!?

The best-selling musician in history🌏
Michael Jackson's time off was
reportedly only about one day a year.

He had a study in his home,
and it is said he often spent time reading.


Great figures and successful people throughout history
have also always kept books by their side.

Even Helen Keller, known for being
blind and deaf, among other things,
read books and wrote books.


People who say "I don't have time to read"
don't lack time for reading,
they justaren't managing their time effectivelyin my opinion.

Surely you aren't busier
than Elon Musk or President Trump, are you?

If you really want to do something, you will do it right away.
No, you should already be doing it.

Everything is a "choice of thought" and a "choice of action."


How you spend your day for yourself and for your life
is an important life choice, isn't it?
.

For example,
an acquaintance of mine works from morning till night, but
she reads for just 5 minutes during her break.

Using that method,
she has already finished dozens of books.

Also, there are people who have a habit of
reading for just 10 minutes before going to sleep.


The emotions you experience before bed
are said to influence your mood the next morning.

If you read a positive book,
you can start the next day feeling good.

So, what kind of books should you read?

Having read about 100 books a month during my student days,
I will introduce 5 points for "quality books."

1. They have been read across generations

Books that have been loved for decades or centuries
have tremendous value.

Trendy bestsellers are fine, but
long-sellersshould be consciously chosen.

I own books that I would be willing to pay 100,000 yen for!
Wisdom that transcends time

brings truly deep learning.

2. They match the challenges in your life

By choosing books filled with the knowledge and ideas
you need right now,
you can gain hints for your life.

"What do I want to solve right now?"
Ask yourself this question.

I believe thatquality books are "medicine for life."My bookshelf contains books of all genres.

The book that resonates with you right now

is surely the one you need at this moment.

3. They are exciting to read

The ideal book is one you genuinely think, "I want to read more!"

A book thatyour heart is naturally drawn tois a valuable one.
Such inspiration

can be felt when looking at the cover or title,
or sometimes you are guided by

a feeling that cannot be explained in wordslike "something about this..."Encounters with books,

like encounters with people,
are best guided by intuition.

4. Is it a book you want to re-read?

A truly valuable book
doesn't end after just one reading＾＾

In fact, reading it once is just the "beginning," and
you cannot say you have understood the content.

To internalize it and
put its content into practice in your life,
you really need to read it over and over again.

By doing so, you gain new insights.

"Can I recommend this book to my future self in 10 years?"
"Can I recommend this book to my children someday?"
Try thinking about that.

5. Does reading it expand your thinking?

Quality books broaden your perspective.

Not only that, but after finishing them,
you feel very, very, veeery!
wonderfully fulfilledinside.

It's a feeling of momentum that inspires you,
"This is incredible!"
something that can no longer be put into words.


If you encounter a book that makes you realize,
"I was trapped by my previous way of thinking,"
that is proof of a good book🩷

After finishing a book,
look back and see if your values have expanded.

Books have the power to change lives.

To you who love reading,
and to those who are about to seriously incorporate reading into their lives,
let's dig a little deeper.

5 More Points for Choosing Good Books

1. Does it make you want to 'know more' after reading?

A good book doesn't force 'answers' on you, but rather stimulates your curiosity to
'think more deeply.' A book that makes you think, 'I want to learn more about this topic,' is definitely one that will encourage your growth.

2. Do you feel inspired while reading it?

A good book doesn't just provide knowledge; while you are reading it, it encourages exciting actions like

'I want to try this!' or 'I want to adopt this way of thinking!'
The more you read, the more your ideas expand, and a book that makes you want to apply it to your own life is a truly valuable one.

3. Does its value remain even after time passes?

Trendy books and popular bestsellers are not always high quality ^^;
Sometimes you might think, 'This author's books always have great titles, but the content is thin.'

Something similar was written in one of Haruki Murakami's essays.

Think about whether it will still have value in 10 or 20 years.





Books that speak to universal truths or essences


are read across generations.
If you ask yourself, 'Will this book be valuable to me in 10 years?', it becomes easier to choose.

4. Does the reading experience stay in your memory?

A truly valuable book stays in your heart even after you've finished it.

A book that you can use days or weeks later, thinking,
'What was written in that book was helpful,'
and one that you can continue to use, is a meaningful one for you.
Books that can be applied to real life are truly high-quality books.

Try to choose books that leave an impression not just right after reading, but even as time goes by.

5. Does it have the power to move your heart?

Good books expand and amplify 'positive thinking.'

Because of that, life becomes richer too.

A book that makes you feel moved or gives you
courage after reading it will become a special one for you.

Among the vast number of books, finding
a book that suits you is a difficult task.


Just as there are sunny days, there are rainy days, right?

Everyone has days when they feel down in life.

👇 Books that blow away negativity✨
Books that are effective for the health of your mind and body are useful for a lifetime...!
I still re-read them regularly.
Because health is one of life's treasures ^^
