The 'Zombie Mental' that allows you to recover no matter how many times you fall down
Being subjected to anger is unpleasant for everyone. However, if you understand the mechanism of anger and acquire the correct coping methods, you can actually turn the situation around for the better.
The ability to recover no matter how many times you are scolded. That is precisely 'Zombie Mental.'
'Saikyo Rule 30' for coping with anger
This book concretely explains how to develop 'Zombie Mental' through the unique method 'Saikyo Rule 30,' which is useful in daily life and business settings.
From visualizing the true nature of anger to coping methods that quickly extinguish anger, and techniques for rebuilding better relationships. 'Techniques for reviving your mind again and again' are introduced.
【Examples of Saikyo Rule 30】
●When you see an angry person, understand that 'they are desperately trying to protect themselves right now.'
●By categorizing types of anger, your 'scolding life' will become dramatically easier!
●When you visualize anger in a 'scolding notebook,' your perspective changes!
●For now, bow your head as much as a flip phone!
●Further utilize 'scolding acting' to extinguish the other person's anger more quickly.
●If you have a 'tsukkomi perspective,' even a 'scolding ordeal' can turn into a fairy tale.

Author Profile
Mio Otsuka [Author]
Born March 12, 1997, from Saitama Prefecture. Actress in Yoshimoto Shinkigeki. In 2017, she passed the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki 'Golden Egg 9th Audition' and joined the company.
While attending music college, her father told her there was no money for tuition, and dropping out became a possibility. Immediately after, it was discovered that she had passed the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki audition she had taken previously. Not wanting to say she quit because of money, she told those around her that she was 'scouted by Shinkigeki' and left the university.
She entered Shinkigeki fully expecting to be in the 'beauty category,' but was actually given the 'eccentric category.'
Combining her special skills in opera and music knowledge, and the theatrical directing methods she learned in college, she developed her unique 'kameko shibari opera' as a form of expression and appeared on television.
She brings her unconventional learning and experience directly to the stage, creating a unique presence within Shinkigeki.
