Ethics and morality
This book is not about eliminating loneliness. It describes how to live a happy life even if you remain alone. The results of a that the number of people who are "alone" is increasing in Japan regardless of age or sex has been reported in the news since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. In February 2021, the "Minister for Policy on Loneliness and Isolation Policy" was established in the Cabinet to deal with this problem. It seems that people must be saved from loneliness. Articles on the theme of loneliness have also become common. However, most of the current discussions are based on the premise that loneliness is unhappiness. Is that really true? The latest research by Takashi Maeno, author of the book, Keio University Graduate School Professor and a leading expert on happiness studies, has shown that it is not possible to simply define loneliness as unhappiness. There are people who do not have partners, who do not socialize well, and who do not have friends. There is no need to be overly afraid of loneliness. There is certainly a way to be happy while being alone. (The definition of "happy loneliness" is described in detail in the book). How can "happy loneliness" be realized? It is important to acquire the three ideas introduced in this book : (1) to "embrace" (proprioception), (2) to "praise" (self-esteem), (3) to "ease" (optimism). These three ideas have emerged as a common tendency among people who are alone but have a high level of happiness. This book introduces lessons that anyone can easily learn about these ideas. If you start a little by little from the range that you can, your life will start to change.
