"I'm comparing again..."
While working as a nurse, the protagonist Ruri was always negating herself with thoughts like "I'm nothing special anyway" and "I have nothing." She would get depressed comparing herself to others and repeated the same days without any confidence.
Even though she wanted to change, she didn't know where to start. Then one day, what happened before her was... the teddy bear Moco was talking!?
"The ability to compare yourself with others is a 'talent'."
While bewildered by this unexpected statement, Ruri gradually changes her perspective on comparison as she goes through trial and error with Moco. Things she notices precisely because she compares, her true desires, and her strengths that she had never seen before—.
This book is an entertainment practical novel that depicts the process of transforming the 'habit of comparison' into a new strength, rather than forcibly changing one's negative self. It's okay not to have confidence. It's okay to be negative. Through a slightly mysterious dialogue with a bear, this book delivers a perspective on how to utilize yourself as you are.
This is a book that will give you the push for a new step, especially for you who tend to compare.
