Description
Book Introduction
Those who are confident in good intentions are in trouble.
If you can't say "No," you'll be unhappy.

Ayako Sono, the Japanese novelist who debuted in the literary world by being nominated for the Akutagawa Prize and author of the best-selling book "Keeping a Little Distance," shares her advice on "How to Become Comfortable in Relationships."

This book also stands out for Sono Ayako's writing style, which expresses the essence of life in short but concise language, reminding us that we are different from others and can never be the same.
This provides a foundation for being comfortable not only with pressure from others, but also with stress from those who do not accept my thoughts.


The way 『Others Don't Know Me』 addresses the difficulties of human relationships is quite different.
Sono Ayako's experience is not expressed through good stories or lessons.
It only touches on the complex and subtle contradictions within human nature, such as, "It is impossible to gossip about others without turning a blind eye to your own weaknesses," "Even well-intentioned actions are not always right," "Speak without resentment," and "People tell the truth and lie when it benefits them."
The author only provides clues, and the pleasure of solving the puzzle is left to the reader.
The reason why depth can be added in such a seemingly indifferent way is because ‘human relationships’ were a topic that Sono Ayako constantly sought to address in her life and literature.

timid
Drop the pretense

Do what needs to be done calmly
Waiting
Living diligently as you are is education.
I get depressed even when my physical condition gets a little worse
Everyone suffers from loneliness
Live my own way
We need all kinds of people
There's a reason we don't know
The weight of life is different for each person.

People do stupid things to survive
Like a kite floating in the sky
Take it out carefully and savor it
Anything has to have stress
It is more comfortable to deal with a wicked person than with a gentleman.
I want others to know
Everything that exists is good
The other side of the hard work
It's perfect because there's nothing there
When times are tough, you become stronger
Children learn from their parents in many ways.
Only by being imperfect can we truly know.
I hope for the unpredictable
The desire to reduce unhappiness
