15 Books that Turn Common Sense into Insane (Books 11-15)

[Book 11]

Title: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology to Cut Through Your Own Ordinance

Author: Arihiro Minokuma

Publisher: Daiwa Shobo

What we think is insane. In fact, it makes us realize that it is a common custom in some areas and expands our horizons. The main feature of this book is "systematization." Rather than just introducing surveys from fieldwork, it can be abstracted and sublimated into learning. By reading this book, you can grasp the elusive study of cultural anthropology.

Title: FACTFULNESS: The habit of overcoming 10 assumptions and seeing the world correctly based on data

Authors: Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Ronland

Publisher: Nikkei BP

Many people may fall into negative and extreme thoughts when they see bad news such as conflicts and disasters. If you do not look correctly, you can not make the right judgment, and there is even a possibility of making mistakes. The way of thinking to see the facts can be cultivated in this book. Let's demonstrate factfulness to see the world correctly from "10 instincts."

[The 13th Book]

Title: Complex Systems Changing the Way We View the World: Scientific Theories of Relationships, Consciousness, and Existence

Author: Neil Sheath

Publisher: Aki Shobo

A complex system is a system composed of many elements, each of which is intertwined with each other in a complex manner. This book explains difficult complex systems for the general public...However, you may come across a part that is academic and not well understood. Is it because complex systems themselves are difficult concepts in the first place? Even if you subtract it, it was a content that you can enjoy personally. Especially Part 2. I was able to experience the wonder that the world that can be seen is different by expanding the scale from cells, molecules, atoms, elementary particles to the universe and changing the perspective. I think this book gave me a new perspective and updated my thinking.

Quantum mechanics, particle physics, and some Eastern philosophy might make it easier to understand.

[14th book]

Title: The Thinking of World-Class Engineers

Author: Tsuyoshi Ushio

Publisher: Bungeishunju

Common sense has been overturned. I was surprised that the way of thinking and working in Japan and Microsoft in the United States are so different. "Trial and error is evil," "Quality and results rather than delivery time," "Maximize results by fixing time," "Delivery time is not absolute, but flexible" It became a book that I would especially like to recommend to IT engineers. It will be a hint for work not only for industries but also for working people.

[15th book]

Title: Negative thinking is the best skill

By: Oliver Berkman

Publisher: Kawade Shobo Shinsha

It is a book that raises questions about living positively as in self-development books. It is important to accept things as they are, such as imperfections and failures, in order to live with negative thinking. I would like to recommend it to people who are tired of self-development.

... Read more「FACTFULNESS 本 表紙」で検索している人って、だいたい2パターンあると思っていて、①本屋やSNSで見かけた“あの黄色い表紙”が気になって確認したい、②購入前にどの版(単行本/文庫/電子)か間違えたくない、のどちらかが多い印象です。私も最初は完全に①で、ビル・ゲイツが推してる本だし…くらいの軽い気持ちで手に取りました。 表紙の特徴は、とにかく「黄色×黒」の強いコントラストで、タイトルのFACTFULNESSがドンと目に入るところ。ビジネス書・教養書コーナーでも埋もれにくくて、“内容は難しそうなのに、見た目はわかりやすい”というギャップが良い意味で刺さりました。写真よりもタイポグラフィ中心のデザインなので、パッと見で判別しやすいのも助かります(表紙買いしやすいタイプ)。 中身は「データを基に世界を正しく見る習慣」を身につける本で、ニュースを見て不安になりやすい人ほど効きます。個人的に刺さったのは、“世界は悪くなっている”と感じるときほど、実は思い込み(=本書で言う10の本能)で判断していることが多い、という点。読んでから、SNSや見出しの強い言葉に引っ張られたときに「それってデータある?」と一呼吸おけるようになりました。 もし表紙だけ確認したい場合は、書店サイトや出版社ページ、電子書籍ストアで「FACTFULNESS(ファクトフルネス)」と正式タイトルで検索するのが確実です。中古で探すなら、同じタイトルでも帯の有無・版の違いで写真が変わることがあるので、商品画像を複数枚載せているショップを選ぶと失敗しにくいです。 ちなみに、この記事ではFACTFULNESS以外にも「常識が非常識に変わる」本をまとめています。FACTFULNESSで“物事の見方”が揺さぶられた人は、文化人類学やエンジニア思考、ネガティブ思考の本も相性が良いはず。表紙で気になって手に取った一冊が、考え方の癖まで変えてくれることって本当にあるので、気になったタイミングでぜひ読んでみてください。
