[Selected from 300 books per year] What I thought was natural actually becomes out of common sense.

Books change your values.

What I thought was natural turns out to be out of common sense, and I see facts that are different from my intuition.

However, you need to choose a book to read. You may think, "What kind of book should I choose?."

Instead, I will introduce 5 books. (Selected from 300 books per year)

The first book:

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

Author: Arihiro Minokuma

Publisher: Daiwa Shobo

The second book:

Title: The Structure of Impossible: Visualizing the Unreasonableness of the World

Author: Isao Hosoya

Publisher: dZERO

The third book:

Title: Do Nothing. The Best Habit of Margins

Author: Mazda Mihiro

Publisher: Subaru-sha

The fourth book:

Title: Do not obey even if you read "air": becoming easier from the pain of living

Author: Naofumi Kougami

Publisher: Iwanami Shoten

The fifth book:

Society Silently Curses You: The Invisible Forces That Erode Thoughts and Feelings

Author: Tasuku Suzuki

Publisher: Shogakukan Creative

We are introducing recommended books for those who want to learn on a regular basis like this.

5/3 Edited to

... Read more私自身もこれらの本を読むことで、日常の固定観念がどれほど狭い視野から来ていたかに気づかされました。特に『自分のあたりまえを切り崩す文化人類学入門』では、文化や常識が地域や社会によって大きく異なることを学び、自分の見ている世界が一部に過ぎないと理解できました。 『「無理」の構造』は、社会の理不尽な側面をデータと論理で解説し、漠然と感じていた社会の不条理が具体的に理解でき、不要な努力を減らすヒントとなりました。 また、『なんにもしない。「余白」という最高の習慣』は、忙しさに追われる毎日で忘れがちな「余裕」の重要性を説き、実際に生活に取り入れることでストレスが軽減し創造性も高まりました。 『「空気」を読んでも従わない: 生き苦しさからラクになる』は、他人の目や会話の空気に縛られず自分らしく生きる勇気をもらい、生きづらさが軽減されました。 最後に『社会は、静かにあなたを「呪う」』では、社会の見えない圧力や価値観の強制という“呪縛”に気づき、そこから脱却するための思考法を学べます。 これらの本は単なる知識ではなく、自分の考え方や生き方を見直し、新しい視点を与えてくれました。普段の生活で当たり前と思い込んでいることが本当はどうなのか疑問を持ちたい人に強くおすすめしたい5冊です。これからも良書を通じて価値観を広げていきたいと思います。
