You can face life seriously.
[The first book]
Title: How to Find the Impulse to Off the Rails of Life
Author: Yoshihiro Tanigawa
Publisher: Chikuma Shobo
I have introduced it many times because it is a book that has seriously changed my life.
There is nothing rational about impulses. But for the person, I don't know why, but it's time to do it. If you make use of your impulses, you can live your life. This book deeply considers such impulses and philosophizes how to make use of them in life.
It may be a book that will be a turning point in your life for those who "do something but leave it as it is" or "there are things that cannot be stepped on."
I'm glad I got off the rails and started on a new path. I feel it from the bottom of my heart.

[The second book]
Title: The Most Inspiring Life Experience of an Economic Man Who Lived in Seclusion in the Mountains I May Be Wrong
Author: Bjorn Nattico Lindeblad (Author)
Publisher: Sunmark Publishing
The number of stamps is crazy....It's a really soothing book.
I was moved by the awareness and insights that I gained in the process of becoming a monk.
What the author, a former economist, learned from the experience of becoming a monk and noticed. There is conflict because it is immature. If you read it, you will know the thoughts that capture things and you will be less judgmental.
"The greatest value I have come to find in my 17 years of training is that I no longer believe my thoughts are right."
Please read this book for the process leading up to that.

[The third book]
Title: Expressive Guide to Living
Author: Kotaro Watanabe
Publisher: NewsPicks Publishing
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.

[The fourth book]
Title: Still Say Yes to Life
Author: Viktor E. Frankl (Author), Kunio Yamada (Author)
Publisher: Shunjusha
Instead of asking "What is the meaning of life?," continue to answer the question of life. Living itself is being questioned. And life has meaning in any situation.
Even suffering can be turned into meaning. Even if suffering is inevitable, how to deal with it is human freedom.
When I was at a crossroads in my life, I imagined how I would perceive myself. When I read it, it deeply penetrates my body.
This is a book I would recommend to everyone.

[The fifth book]
Title: Night and Fog New Edition
Author: Viktor E. Frankl (Author) Kayoko Ikeda (Translation)
Publisher: Misuzu Shobo
It's a masterpiece that changes the way you perceive the "meaning of life" 180 degrees....
"Rather than asking the meaning of life, life asks the meaning of life." Frankl's teachings are deep. Rather than searching for your inner self, what is required / needed of you?

『私が間違っているかもしれない』（ビョルン・ナッティコ・リンデブラッド）って、名前だけ見ると難しそうに感じるかもしれないけど、読後の感覚はすごく“日常向け”でした。私が一番効いたのは、「自分の考えが正しいと信じなくなった」という姿勢。これって自己否定じゃなくて、むしろ心を軽くする技術なんだと思います。 読んでいて何度も立ち止まったのは、モヤモヤの正体が「事実」じゃなくて「解釈」だったと気づく瞬間でした。たとえば、人の言葉に傷ついたときも、実際には“言われた”より先に“こういう意味に違いない”と決めつけていることが多い。そこで「私が間違っているかもしれない」と一度だけ挟むと、反射的に戦わなくてよくなるんですよね。結果的に、相手のせいにするよりも、自分を守れる。 この本が刺さる人は、たぶん「頭ではわかってるのに、気持ちがついてこない」タイプ。自己啓発っぽい断言ではなく、隠遁生活や修行の中での葛藤がちゃんと描かれているから、押しつけ感が少ないです。付せんが増えるのもわかる…。読むたびに“今の自分”に引っかかる箇所が変わる本だと思いました。 読み方のコツとしては、最初から全部理解しようとしないこと。気になった章だけ拾い読みでも十分効きます。私は「決めつけが強くなってるな」と感じた日に、短い区切りで読み返すのが一番効果がありました。 あと、同じく“人生観が変わる”系の読書としては、この記事内で紹介している他の本（『人生のレールを外れる衝動のみつけかた』『生きるための表現手引き』『それでも人生にイエスと言う』『夜と霧 新版』）と並べて読むのもおすすめです。ビョルンの本は、心の防御力を上げるというより「余白を取り戻す」感じ。フランクルの『夜と霧』が“意味”の輪郭をくれるなら、ビョルンは“考えにしがみつかない自由”をくれる、そんな補完関係がありました。 もし今、正しさで疲れているなら。「私が間違っているかもしれない」って言葉を、まずは1回だけ自分に向けてみる。それだけで、世界の見え方が少し変わると思います。
