15 Books That Turn Common Sense Insane (Books 1-5)
[The first book]
Title: Society Quietly "Curses" You The Identity Of "Invisible Forces" That Erode Thoughts And Feelings
Author: Tasuku Suzuki
Publisher: Shogakukan Creative
A good book that consumes too much attachment. Common sense and beliefs are all destroyed.
What if these are all curses?
Japan is over.
People live to be happy.
I don't need growth anymore.
Work with passion.
Life is determined by heredity.
Actually, they may be convinced by the statements of various experts.
It is also said that "humans are creatures who accept incorrect information even if they are told the same thing by three people."
This book puts a mess and a scalpel into the human thought that can be taken as such a curse.
What I thought again is the negative effect of oversimplifying complex events. Since there are many variables in the economy, it is easy to fall into the trap of simplification. What I felt after reading this book.
If you like the best-selling book Factfulness, you will love this book too.

[The second book]
Title: The Structure of Impossible: Visualizing the Unreasonableness of the World
Author: Isao Hosoya
Publisher: dZERO
For those who want to eliminate useless efforts. It is a book that beautifully verbalizes the laws of the world.
It is not the world that is unreasonable, but our head that is unreasonable. This is exactly what it says. Rather than lamenting unreasonably, the flexibility to know and adapt to the laws of the world. If you read it, you will realize its importance and be humble

Don't you think that documentaries show the people who are in the spot as they are?

[The fourth book]
Title: PLURALITY Transforming Conflict into Creation: The Future of Collaborative Technology and Democracy
Author: Audrey Tan
Publisher: Rights
This is a truly amazing book that may change the world. It proposes a third solution that is neither technology dominance nor liberalism. It describes a methodology for "creating a new public using conflict as a material" instead of "eliminating conflict."
What you need to be careful about is that it is difficult to read. There are over 600 pages of text that use a lot of technical terms. There are various topics, so you may get lost while reading?

[The fifth book]
Title: Anthropology to turn over - Questioning the "first place" of difficulty in living
Author: Katsumi Okuno
Publisher: Chikuma Primer Shinsho
When you read it, your values are turned upside down. You can understand how we are bound by common sense. Local residents do not have the same worries as they do today. They do not even have a concept in the first place.

「呪う本」で検索して出てくるのって、怪談や呪術の本を想像しがちなんですが、私が刺さったのは『社会は、静かにあなたを「呪う」』みたいに“社会や他人の言葉が、気づかないうちに思考を縛る”タイプの本でした。読後に残る怖さが、いわゆるホラーより現実的なんですよね。 この本で印象に残ったのは、呪い＝オカルトではなく「自分の中に入り込んだ前提」だという感覚です。たとえば「日本は終わってる」「人は幸せになるために生きている」「情熱を持って仕事に取り組め」みたいな言い切り。どれも“良さそう”に見えるのに、状況次第では自分を追い詰めるルールになります。読んでいて、私は特に「成長し続けないといけない」と「好きなことを仕事にすべき」に引っ張られてたな…と気づきました。 自分の中の“呪い”を見つけるために、読後にやってよかったことを3つだけ。 1) 引っかかった言葉をメモする 本の中のフレーズでも、SNSで見た断言でもOK。「なぜか不安になる言葉」「読んだ瞬間に反論したくなる言葉」ほど、呪いの入口でした。 2) その言葉の“発信者のメリット”を考える 「有識者が言ってたから正しい」ではなく、その人がそう言うことで得する構造がないかを見ると、距離が取れます。『このドキュメンタリーはフィクションです』の視点（制作者の意図が混ざる）がここで効きました。 3) 反対の仮説を1日だけ採用してみる 「情熱を持て」を「淡々と続けるのが得意でもいい」に置き換える、みたいに“逆の前提”で1日過ごすと、思い込みの強さが体感できます。 同じ「呪い」でも、日常の理不尽さに効いたのは『「無理」の構造』でした。世の中が理不尽というより、こちらの期待値や認知がズレてる、という整理ができるので、落ち込みの時間が減りました。 「呪う本」を探している人ほど、実は“怖がらせる本”より“気づかせる本”のほうが後から効くと思います。読んだ後に、ニュースや誰かの断言に踊らされにくくなる。それが一番の解呪でした。
