▼ Back｜▲ Next How to Put Yourself in a Good Mood Easy-to-understand mental training for success! 『How to Put Yourself in a Good Mood』 165 pages April 2013 1,300 yen (w/o tax) Contents: Sports doctor Shuichi Tsuji talks in simple terms about life skills he has taught for over 20 years. "Life skills" was a word coined in a 1993 WHO proposal, defined as "the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviors that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life." Plainly put, they are the skills needed to live better. We live in what many describe as a stressful society, where it's important for people to learn life skills in the same way they learn how to cook or drive in order to live better. The author is also an expert on matters of the heart and mind, and he explains that the condition of the heart and mind influences a person's actions. "When people are in a good place emotionally, their capabilities expand. That's one of the reasons why top athletes take their mental well-being very seriously." He uses the term gokigen (positivity) in the book so that it is easy for the reader to visualize a more desirable mental state. He refers to a lifestyle that supports gokigen as gokigendo (a positive lifestyle). While being mindful of these, you will produce better results. The book introduces tips on how to do that. The first thing to do is realize your mental state is something you determine for yourself. Be sure to read this book and put yourself in that place. From the table of contents: - You decide your mental state - Humans are predisposed to bad moods - A good mental state increases your concentration - Are you tired of positive thinking? - It starts with your thoughts - You are the one who makes decisions in your life - Your source of energy is within you - Emotions are a gift - Don't expect cheer and support - Your positive influence will change the world A word from the editor: When I met Dr. Tsuji, he struck me as a person who loves to smile. I had the impression that I had met the embodiment of gokigen. When I'm busy with work or worried about something, I get irritable and unsettled. I'm just like the ill-tempered Yoshiko in the book. But as I was working on this book, I learned that no matter what you are going through, you can put yourself in a positive mood. I am now able to go through each day with the assurance that I know how to get myself back to a good place.
