Night 1: Denying Trauma
Why people can change
People fabricate anger
A life not dominated by the past
Your misfortune is something you "choose"
People always make the decision not to change
Night 2: All worries are interpersonal relationships
Why do I hate myself?
Inferiority feelings are subjective beliefs
People who brag feel inferior
Life is not a competition with others
Admitting your mistakes isn't a defeat
Don't turn away from "life's lies"
From the psychology of ownership to the psychology of use
Night 3: Cutting Off Other People's Issues
Denying the need for approval
Don't live to meet "that person's" expectations
Breaking the "Gordian Knot"
The cards in interpersonal relationships are held by "I"
Night 4: Where is the center of the world?
Individual Psychology and Holism
The goal of interpersonal relationships is a sense of community
Don't scold, don't praise
To think I'm worthy
People can't use "watashi" differently
Night 5: Living seriously in the here and now
Self-acceptance, not self-affirmation
What is the difference between trust and faith?
The essence of work is to contribute to others
Two paths for those who want to be "special"
Live to dance
Give meaning to a meaningless life
excerpt
- Apparent causality
- There is no meaning to life. Life is made up of a series of present moments. Cherish every present moment.
- You are not unhappy because of your past or circumstances, nor because you lack the ability. You simply lack the courage.
- The present is not determined by our experiences
- We determine ourselves by the meaning we give to our experiences
- Don't seek approval from others
- We do not live to meet the expectations of others
- Other people don't live to meet your expectations either.
- Stay out of other people's business and don't let others interfere with yours.
- Worrying about what others think is not an interest in others but an obsession with yourself
- Reward and punishment education is no good (you should neither praise nor scold)
- Being praised makes people believe they are incompetent
- Make all interpersonal relationships horizontal
- The inferiority complex that torments us is not an "objective fact" but a "subjective interpretation"
- If even one person has a vertical relationship, all interpersonal relationships will become vertical.
- Freedom is being hated by others
- Gain a sense of belonging by actively committing to a community
- A person can only be courageous if he believes he is worthy
- Contributing to others is something I do to realize my own value
- Workaholics use work as an excuse to avoid other responsibilities.
- The sense of contribution gained through the desire for recognition lacks freedom
- As long as you don't lose sight of the guiding star of contributing to others, you won't be confused and you can do anything.
- Not living in the here and now is the biggest lie in life
