Happiness in Japanese: tips on how to make a person's life more joyful and brighter
The authors of this monograph have attempted to
generalize the Japanese’s understanding of human happiness and reveal secrets
on how to attain it to Russian readers.
When conceptualizing the components of happiness many generations of Japanese
people have referred to the wise ancient Greek saying: “Happy is the one whose
life is filled with the joys of spiritual being and developed self-awareness,
not with material goods.” That is why on the one hand, many Japanese people
today believe that human happiness of difficult to attain by chasing after
material wealth, and on the other hand, that it can be easily found through
spiritual joys. The Japanese have been familiarized from an early age with the
concept that they will spend half their lives at work where they should learn
to find their chance to make their lives happy. A successful Japanese person
knows that he/she needs to solve the three following tasks to attain happiness:
gain the necessary levels of knowledge for self-realization in life; become a
professional in their sphere of work; build themselves up as a person of high
morals, honour and dignity. In overcoming life’s difficulties a Japanese person
perfects himself/herself with each passing day. He works on himself, expands
his knowledge and gains life experience. She reads new books, goes to the
theatre and to exhibitions. Yet he does not forget the simple truth which
fairly asserts that, “a healthy body houses a healthy spirit”. In other words,
a balanced Japanese person aiming for happiness doesn’t forget about sport
which will not only allow her to strengthen her health but also to expand her
contact with the outside world. It is this kind of life that stimulates the
Japanese to self-improvement in harmony, enables them to acquire the necessary
set of human merits, and directs them towards a life of fully-fledged
happiness.
The book is aimed at a wide circle of readers and
possibly, first and foremost, at the young generation who at the start of their
life will be thinking about how to live it in happiness.
