I actually posted this in another subreddit already but didn’t get many recommendations, so trying here too.
My buddy in Japan just published his first book. I don’t usually read self help (not really my thing), but he studied psychology for his second diploma and honestly he helped me a lot back in uni, so I figured I should give it a real chance.
I was actually surprised, honestly he cooked this one. It’s not the usual “10 rules to success” type of stuff. Each chapter has questions and even space to write down your thoughts, so it feels more like you’re working through it instead of just reading and forgetting.
I don’t read much in this genre so I don’t really know what to compare it to. Any recs for self help or personal development books that actually have personality, not just lectures?
Side note, he wrote it in English first even though it’s aimed at young Japanese guys. He keeps saying too many are just kinda drifting through life and it’s bad for the country’s future. But he also thinks maybe the mindset fits English speaking countries even better. Japanese version will come later.
anyone here has favorites in that lane. Would help me give him more useful feedback.
