—Are you prioritizing "correctness" and "efficiency" above all else, leaving yourself behind?—
Six years after the consistently reprinted long-selling essay 'The Aesthetic of Living My Own Life,' the author, who lives more flexibly and resolutely in a rapidly changing era, has penned this entire new work.
In a world that demands speed and productivity, this essay collection, filled with essences to build a foundation of mind and body that allows you to return to yourself even if you waver, is designed to help you not lose sight of what is truly important to you. It's a book you'll want to open again and again. It also includes the never-before-published short story "Asane's Kitchen."
Theme / Imagine your emotional destination in advance / Change your snacks, and your skin and hair will change
Live like you're traveling, and your familiar daily life will become colorful / The grass is always greener on the other side
Having an elegant margin / Choosing to leave with "gratitude" without overexertion and more.

"Living by your own 'way of thinking,' not someone else's 'right answer.'
In an era overflowing with information and 'right answers,' I expressed the difficulty and importance of trusting one's own senses in the form of an essay.
I would be very happy if you feel a sense of light shining on your future as you read it."
The short story "Asane's Kitchen," featuring delicious seasonal dishes, is also included!
A book launch fair will be held at Daikanyama Tsutaya Books from June 10 to June 23!
In addition to 'The Aesthetic of 'Margin' for Living My Own Life' and her previous work 'The Aesthetic of Living My Own Life,' Mirai Matsuda's favorite sweets and tea will also be on display at the book launch fair at Daikanyama Tsutaya Books! Please stop by.
