I want everyone who feels difficult to live to read it.

It is a book that gives us the courage to let go of such values as "I have to do well" or "something valuable."

Let go, change your perspective, try to imitate, you can see things from various angles by reading this book, and it will remove the shackles that you have built up until now.

If you have a feeling of inferiority complex or feel depressed compared to others, please pick up this book.

However, there are some difficult parts. Just reading what you understand will change what you see.
