Into the book
Everyone experiences problems, big and small, in life.
You can't completely solve a problem, but you can change your attitude and the way you deal with it.
Philosophy helps us get less angry, yell less, feel less anxious, and avoid hurting our loved ones.
--- p.10
It feels good to have someone who understands me.
Remember, sometimes being honest can get you what you want.
--- p.23
If someone is angry or irritated, it may not be because of you, but because of something else.
There may be a thorn stuck somewhere in your heart, like an angry lion.
--- p.32
Before fear grows and you can't do anything, just give it a try.
It's important to start, even if it's not perfect.
Procrastination is a problem we all face.
Acknowledge your fear and take a step forward.
The moment you take your first step, you'll realize it's not as difficult as you thought.
--- p.67
When thinking about what you want to do, first explore what you like and are good at.
Such efforts will lead you to a happy future.
--- p.73
Instead of covering up or ignoring the difficult work, we need to look at the problem straight on.
Only then can we change the situation for the better.
It leaves a 'golden mark' in the heart.
--- p.90
Life is like putting together a puzzle.
At first, there will be pieces that you don't know where to put.
It may feel frustrating, but if you persevere and adjust them one by one, you will eventually be able to put them in the perfect spot.
--- p.114
It is realistically impossible to divide everything equally because everyone has different talents and circumstances.
The important thing is to acknowledge and respect each other's differences.
Also, make sure the difference isn't so big that someone feels it's unfair.

Publisher's Review
Life's worries that even adults find difficult to answer,
25 philosophers give refreshing answers!
“I’m not normal.”
“I don’t know what I want.”
“I keep putting off things I need to do.”
From everyday concerns to profound questions that even adults struggle to find clear answers to, 25 philosophers offer clear answers.
When you feel upset when people say, "You're a little weird," Camus tells you to stop caring about what other people think and just focus on yourself.
If you're not sure what you like or what you want to do, Rousseau advises looking for something that suits your nature and thinking back to the games you enjoyed as a child.
Hypatia also says that the reason we keep putting off things that need to be done is not because we are lazy, but because of the vague fear we feel when we start a task.
In this way, in "How to Solve Difficulties Wisely," we can glimpse the wisdom that philosophers have long pondered and discovered about the difficulties we commonly face in life.
Furthermore, it thoroughly answers various questions about the world that we have all had at least once, such as whether the world is truly fair, why some people are wealthy, why the news doesn't contain all the truth, and what art and advertising have in common.
This book emphasizes that philosophy is deeply connected not only to individual concerns but also to politics, art, and society as a whole, providing broad knowledge on how to live a proper life and the ultimate meaning of life.
By examining how philosophers approach and solve problems through realistic concerns and concrete examples, we will gain wisdom for navigating the world and insight for wisely overcoming difficulties.
Asking and answering questions like a philosopher
Find your own solution to overcome difficulties!
"How to Solve Difficulties Wisely" contains specific activities useful for reading discussions and post-reading activities.
You can develop self-reflection skills by dealing with real-life concerns and problems, writing down your thoughts through activities, and solving problems.
Activities include a fatigue checklist to help you reflect on why you suddenly feel sad, deducing the hidden causes of unhappiness behind the behavior of someone who is bothering you, analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, and writing down problems you want to solve to find answers.
These activities allow you to think for yourself like a philosopher, discuss life's challenges with friends, family, and teachers, and come up with your own solutions.
