Story
13万部を突破したベストセラーの待望の続編!北野武、太田光、立川談志、スティーブ・ジョブズ・手塚治虫ら人生の先輩が「働くこと」をアドバイスします。
13万部突破の前作『働く理由』では、人生の先輩の名言から働く理由・意味について考えました。
続編である本作では、もっと人間を広い視点から眺め、人生の意味について考えます。
「私達は何のために働くのか?」
ざっくり答えれば、「お金」と「やりがい」のためです。
しかし豊かな社会に移行するにつれ、「お金」の地位は下がり、相対的に「やりがい」の地位が上がってきました。
本書は、その「やりがい」という質的概念から「働く理由」を整理することを目的としています。
そして働く理由、仕事論は幸福論、人生論にまで広がりをみせます。
自分が自分であることは、他者との関わりの中からしかその存在を証明することはできません。
その、他者と関わるという事=歴史・社会の中に自分を見出すという事は、世界との繋がりを感じるということ。
その橋渡しをしている「仕事」について、再び99の至言と共に考え、見直していきましょう。-

Story
芥川賞作家でもある著者の、禅的生活のエッセイ集。独特の視点で語られる「禅の世界」を味わってみませんか?
この本は、臨済宗妙心寺派福聚寺の副住職であり、芥川賞作家でもある玄侑和尚が雑誌・新聞等に掲載した短いエッセイをまとめたものです。
以前訪れた動物園の水槽で、ヌボーッと佇んでいたサンショウウオ。
その何をするでもないが、仄かな明るさを纏った彼(彼女?)の姿と、
「八風吹けど動ぜず」という禅の言葉が、和尚の中でリンクしたのです。
それ以来、和尚の中にはある種憧れのようなサンショウウオが一匹住み始めました。
もうひとつ禅の言葉で、「放下(ほうげ)」というものがあります。
一瞬ごとに「今」という一瞬が死に、新しく次の「今」という一瞬がやってくる。
悲しみや怒りの時間を捨て、新たに展開した笑顔の時間を人は生きるのです。
和尚は、「新しい一瞬一瞬を重ね塗りせず生きていくから、
いつまでたってもその色合いは鮮やかであり、明るい」と説きます。
自分だけのサンショウウオを飼いながら、人生をゆらり、どっしり、たまにはテキパキと、鼻歌でも歌いながら明るい人生を過ごしましょう。-

男女間の考え方の違いを徹底究明!仕事、プラベート共に役立つ、男女の関係がわかります。
女性もいろいろ。男性もいろいろ。
本書は、どちらもプロカウンセラーである夫婦による共著です。
日常や職場で、男女差が見られると思われる行動について、女性カウンセラーと男性カウンセラーの両性の視点から示されています。
そのカテゴリーは服装・小物など身の回りの持ち物から、恋愛・結婚観、文化まで多岐にわたります。
例えば「買い物」。どうして女性の買い物はあんなに時間のかかるものなのでしょうか?
女性の買い物に付き合ったことのある男性ならば、一度は感じた事があると思います。
また「コレクター」には、何故男性が多いのでしょうか?
彼らは女性には興味のわかない、珍しいものを集めたがります。
感じ方の差、認識の差、見えている世界の違いから生じる男女間のコミュニケーションでの誤解を解くために、是非活用してみてはいかがでしょう。-

コミュニケーション関係のベストセラー!どんな対人関係でも、確実に変えるコミュニケーションとは? 人間関係は難しいものです。 しかし、コミュニケーションはちょっと注意すれば誰にでもできるといいます。 自分の態度や表現から、自分自身の心の状態を知ることができ、またそうすれば相手の反応を読み取りやすくなります。 そう教えるこの本の著者、東山紘久氏はプロカウンセラー。 コミュニケーションがむずかしい人たちと絶えず接している彼らは、いわばコミュニケーションのプロです。 前作ベストセラーともなった「プロカウンセラーの聞く技術」では、プロカウンセラーの主な仕事でもあり、コミュニケーションにおいて重要かつ意外と知られていない「聞く」技術を教えてくれています。 そして今作はさらに深く解説。「プロカウンセラーがどのような点に注意して話を聞いているのか、発言しているのか」まで教えてくれます。 プロカウンセラーは話すときのしぐさ、内容と表情の関連性、代名詞や接続詞の使い方などに細かい注意を払っているといいます。 相手の話す態度や表情を見ると分かることもたくさんあるのです。 プロカウンセラーの技術を普段のコミュニケーションにも活かし、相手を理解できるようになりましょう!

Story
人に好かれるしゃべり方、人を説得するしゃべり方が求められている。
しかし、それだけでは不十分なのだ。相手を不快にさせない言い回しや言葉、
あるいは禁句などを口にしない防衛的なしゃべりを身につける必要がある。
仕事にしても、恋愛、近所付き合い、なんでもそうだが、すべて人間が絡まっている。
そして、人間同士を繋ぐのが、おしゃべりである。
おしゃべりはお金がかからない。しかし、使い方によってその代償は途方もない
ものに膨らむこともある。おしゃべりはすぐに消えてしまう。しかし、人を殺傷する
武器になることもあるのだ。どんなに気をつけていても、ついうっかり口が滑る
ということがある。ついうっかりの回数を極力減らし、たとえ失言しても効果的な
リカバリーをすることで、良好な人間関係を保つことができる。「失言は、
人間関係を一発で破壊する」 これを自覚することが大切なのだ。

Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Story
The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Story
Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities. In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind.

The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all. But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.
