Story
解決しない悩み事には「楽したい」がある 「つい食べ過ぎてしまう」 「つい怒ってしまう」 「ついダラダラしてしまう」 あらゆる悩みの根源には、こうした「やってはいけないとわかってはいるんだけど、ついやってしまう」習慣があります。ダイエットをしたい人は「つい食べ過ぎてしまう」習慣をやめればいい。さらに言えば「悪い習慣をやめて、良い習慣を始める」ということさえできれば、悩みごとは解決です。部屋を片付けたい人は「散らかす」習慣をやめて「片付ける」習慣をつければいいわけです。 簡単なことですよね。ただ、実際にはこの「ついやってしまう」、あるいは「ついサボってしまう」習慣を変えることが難しいわけです。なぜでしょう?(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
「本を買っても、結局は読まずに積み上げているだけなんです」という人がいます。実は何を隠そう、僕も多くの本を「積ん読」にしている人間です。「まったく読んでない」と言うとそこまで多くはないかもしれませんが、初めのほうを読んだだけでそのまま放置、ということであれば、おそらく買った本の少なくとも7割は「積ん読」になっています。 もちろん、引越しなどの際には処分しますが、少なくとも何百冊という「ちゃんと読んでいない本」が本棚にあることはまちがいないでしょう。 断捨離に代表されるような片付け・整理術の観点からいえば、こうした「今後、まず読むことのない本」はさっさと捨てた方がいい、ということになるでしょう。僕も、こうした「使わないなら捨てる」という意見に、基本的に賛成です。 (本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■人はなぜ笑うのか 「笑い」が心や身体に良い影響を与えるということが、近年、さまざまな分野において指摘されるようになっています。その一方で、「人はなぜ笑うのか」という問いには、まだ明確な答えが得られてはいません。 もちろん心理学では、このテーマについてさまざまな説明がなされてきました。例えば「親が笑うから、子供はそれを真似て笑う」というのもその有力な説のひとつです。子供を見ると親は笑う。その表情を、子供が真似る。そうやって子供が笑うと親は喜ぶので、子供はもっと笑うようになる。近年ではいわゆる「ミラーニューロン」の考え方をあてはめて説明するものもあります。(本文より)名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

人見知りを克服する方法

Story
■人見知りの起源 発達心理学的には「人見知り」は、いわゆる「物心がつく」2-3歳の頃から始まります。生まれてからしばらく続く母親との幸福な一体感。そこに介入しようとする異物(父親や他人)への拒否反応が、「人見知り」の根っこにある感情です。 もちろん、成長とともに、人は母親だけでなく、父親や兄弟、あるいは友人や恋人に対しても一体感を感じるようになります。しかしその都度、「それ以外」の対象に対して拒否反応が起きる。一般的にはこれを「人見知り」と呼んでいるのではないかと思います。 言い換えれば「人見知りを克服する」というのは、人間の本能に反したことだと言うこともできるでしょう。人間にとっての「快」は基本的に、「慣れ親しんだ環境への一体感」のほうにあります。人見知りを克服するには、わざわざ幸福な一体感を捨て、「不快」の方向へ舵を切ることが必要です。ですから理論的には、人見知りを克服するには、「母親との一体感を捨てるほどの利益」を、自分自身が納得する必要があります。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■面倒臭いとは何か 「面倒臭い」という心理とどう付き合っていくかというのは、意外に深いテーマなんです。「面倒臭い」というのはどういうことか。それは、いま自分が置かれている状況や取り掛かっている物事が、自分にとって「退屈である」ということにほかなりません。そして「退屈である」というのは実は「怒り」なんです。ただ、退屈=怒りと言われても、多くの人はちょっとピンとこないかもしれませんね。というのも、「怒り」というと一般的には「カチンとくる」とか「ムカッとする」という、どちらかというと瞬間的な怒りをイメージされる人が多いから。でも、「退屈」というのは、そういう瞬間的な怒りとは異なる、持続的な怒りの感情のことです。。(本文より)名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■ハワイから届いた「いぶし銀」のメッセージ
10歳から仏門に入られた天台宗大僧正の荒了寛さん。
開教総長としてハワイに渡り40年。
「心が軽くなる」
「何度も読み返したい」と話題となった
前作『365日を穏やかに過ごす心の習慣。』に続く
磨き込まれたことばが沁みる新作をお届けします。
私たちはなぜ悩み、苦しむのか。
それは「こうあらねばならない」と自分で自分を縛ったり、
身近な人、あるいは他人さえも縛ろうとするからです。
でも、この世に永遠に決められていることなど何もありません。
何事は常に変化しています。
つまり、大きく大きく物事をとらえるようにして
真理を知ることが大切で、
そのために必要となるのが
「こだわらない」「とらわれない」という念じ方となります。
これは仏教の「無常」という教えにまさに通じています。
こうしたことに気づきさえすれば、
ほとんどの悩みや苦しみはなくなるよ、と
荒さんは説かれています。
深い感動を与えてくれる名言もふんだんに盛り込んだ本書。
一読すればたちまち、きっと
心がスゥーッと軽くなることに気づくでしょう。

■人生の岐路で迷ったことがない 僕は、人生を左右するような大きな決断について、あまり迷ったことがありません。日常生活ではしょっちゅう迷うのに、転職するとか、新しいことに取り組むといった大きな決断においてはあまり迷ったことがない。 なぜかというと、それが重要で、大切な決断であるほど、自分の力だけで選ぶものではないと考えているからです。少なくとも僕は、「人生における大事な選択」って、基本的に自分の力では選べないことが圧倒的に多い、と考えています。 逆に言えば、僕らが自由に選べることって、たいていどうでもいいことなんです。こういうと語弊があるかもしれませんが、少なくとも人生を大きく左右するような選択というのはだいたい、僕らが自分の意志では関与できないような、前世からの因縁みたいなもので決まっていることが多い。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

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.

Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinized, her every decision judged. Today Brooke faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a “woman of a certain age.” And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. Now, in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, she’s changing the narrative about women and aging.

Story
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.

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
