- Title: Kanfun Goroku (Words to Inspire) - Author: Tetsuo Gyotoku - Genre: Philosophy, Literature, Novel - Language: Japanese The following text is borrowed from Amazon: The author, Tetsuo Gyotoku, is the founder of a philosophical training method that combines American behavioral science and sensitivity training with Eastern Zen. He has been conducting the "BE Training" for 30 years, a training program to regain "sensitivity = the undeniable self." The number of participants in the program is approximately 18,000. Golf player Isao Aoki and tennis player Shuzo Matsuoka, among others, have been influenced by his words, overcoming slumps and achieving great success on the big stage, with Gyotoku serving as their spiritual support. The prologue states, "In modern times, unexpected events occur one after another, leaving no time for the mind to rest. In such an era, how can we calm the hearts of those who are restless and encourage them? Philosophical words are meant to make people feel and inspire them, and that is the essence of such words." "Does tomorrow really exist? Who can say for sure that they will be alive tomorrow? Tomorrow doesn't exist in the first place. There is only 'now' and 'here'." Each of these words included in the collection of sayings questions the meaning of life while simultaneously giving us courage and hope to live.
