A single word or moment of realization can bring about a significant change in a person's heart. Even when constantly connected with others through smartphones, we can still feel lonely. Human relationships can change with just a swipe of a finger. This book aims to lighten the hearts of those who feel uneasy about their own existence and wish to be freed from this anxiety, offering a fresh perspective on human relationships. To cherish yourself, you must value your relationships with important people. And to improve those relationships, you must first cherish yourself.
“We can only come to like ourselves through our own choices. To like ourselves more, we must accumulate choices that make us like ourselves, without worrying about what others think.” This book, from Japan's top career coach, offers words and ways of thinking to lighten the burdens of the heart in various situations.
