Review: Conversational style book that will completely change your way of thinking. - I have this book on kindle but wanted a hard copy to keep on hand. When I start to feel unhappy in life I crack open this book and get set back on the right path almost instantly. This is such a great read, it’s conversational style and very relatable. The first time I read it it’s like the book read my mind as to what the youths response was. This was easy to read, very digestible and will make a perfect gift for someone.
Review: A very helpful, wise, readable book - I’m reading this now. I started it last night and it’s a very easy read, at the same time as it provides helpful advice. It goes beyond the title. It’s written in the format of a philosophy professor expounding on his or her thoughts, and a student asking questions and weighing in on the ideas the professor speaks about. I’ve read many self-help books and this is the one that really reaches me. I’m an American and this book (in English) was written by two Japanese people. This book makes me want to visit Japan to learn about their culture!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very helpful, wise, readable book
*by S***L on December 29, 2025*

I’m reading this now. I started it last night and it’s a very easy read, at the same time as it provides helpful advice. It goes beyond the title. It’s written in the format of a philosophy professor expounding on his or her thoughts, and a student asking questions and weighing in on the ideas the professor speaks about. I’ve read many self-help books and this is the one that really reaches me. I’m an American and this book (in English) was written by two Japanese people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An easy to read and understand view of human psychology mixed with philosophy.
*by S***E on March 6, 2026*

I bought this based on a recommendation on Instagram. It's an interesting concept of a Philosopher talking to a Youth and answering questions. The book mixes Philosophy with Psychology and has some perspectives I hadn't heard before. The chapters are short and all inclusive. There's not a lot here that hasn't been said elsewhere, but the different approach in saying it rings differently. The overall message is to live in the hear and now and not to focus too much on other people's opinions. One metaphor at the very beginning of the book talks about the fact that well water is always 60 degrees, whereever you are and whatever season. But in the summer the water feels cool and in the winter it feels warm. In other words, how we perceive things depends on the circumstances. This book was worth getting and reading in large part because of the different presentation of the ideas.
