Book Club Where You Can Speak Honestly 💛 Book Giveaway Project

Yesterday, I held a book club for Mayumi Taniwaki's book, "Five Stories to Cherish Yourself" together with my fellow instructor, Mika Uchiyama.

The book "Five Stories to Cherish Yourself"

The author, Mayumi Taniwaki, first explained the overall picture of the book.

We reviewed the first chapter, which is themed around "empathy," as the author, Mayumi Taniwaki, talked us through the synopsis.

We were also able to hear some "exclusive stories" that couldn't be written in the book 😊

Full text of Chapter 1 available for free on Gokigen Business Publishing's note

On the note page of the publisher, Gokigen Business Publishing, the full text of Chapter 1 of Mayumi Taniwaki's "Five Stories to Cherish Yourself" is available for free!

Actually, did you know that only Nagiko in Chapter 1 doesn't have a last name?! (I didn't notice 💦) We decided to hold a project to come up with a last name for Nagiko (lol)

A safe and secure place where you can speak honestly

At the book club, we discuss our thoughts on the theme of "empathy."

As someone who tends to sacrifice myself, I couldn't help but feel that Nagiko, the protagonist of Chapter 1, was just like me... I even talked about experiences that overlapped with the story written in the book.

It was a safe and secure place where I could even talk about dark history that I wouldn't mention anywhere else.

By opening up myself, we were able to share each other's experiences and thoughts, making it a healing time.
