Description

David K. Reynolds – Playing Ball on Running Water – The Japanese Way to Building a Better Life [ eBook – 1 PDF , 1 JPEG ]

This is a wonderful book that introduces the reader to two methods of psychotherapy (Morita and Naikan) imported from Japan. Reynolds’ writing style is personal and easy-to-read, and the concepts within are potentially life-altering. In stark contrast to the Western approaches of therapy, which sometimes dwell on feelings and the past, this book presents what for many is a refreshingly different approach of practical living: things that you can do every day that provide a method to live constructively, even if your feelings are telling you otherwise. This is called “constructive living.” The ideas in this book and the others that he has written on the subject have changed me and my life, and I recommend this book (and buy it as a gift) for many of my friends. I also try and read it once a year (it is short) to remind me to get out of my head and go live my life.

More information about Lifestyle:

Lifestyle is the interests, opinions, behaviours, and behavioural orientations of an individual, group, or culture.
The term was introduced by Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler with the meaning of “a person’s basic character as established early in childhood”.
For example, in his 1929 book “The Case of Miss R.”. The broader sense of lifestyle as a “way or style of living” has been documented since 1961.
Lifestyle is a combination of determining intangible or tangible factors.
Tangible factors relate specifically to demographic variables, i.e. an individual’s demographic profile,
whereas intangible factors concern the psychological aspects of an individual such as personal values, preferences, and outlooks.

A rural environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban metropolis.
Location is important even within an urban scope.
The nature of the neighborhood in which a person resides affects the set of lifestyles available
to that person due to differences between various neighborhoods’ degrees of affluence and proximity to natural and cultural environments.
For example, in areas near the sea, a surf culture or lifestyle can often be present.
