Why This Book is Important and Might Heal You
Every significant relationship has a slight, invisible gap, whether it be between spouses, parents and children, siblings, in-laws, close friends, peers, or even maintain harmony, we present a single face.To fit in, we conceal aspects of who we are.Even when it doesn't align with our feelings, we say what we're "supposed" to say.More often than we realize, there is a silent gap between our emotions and our actions. It is known as the gap between "Honne" (real feelings) and "Tatemae" (public appearance) in Japanese culture. It is present in all contexts—cultural, familial, and professional—and subtly erodes the strength of our bonds with one another and ourselves.
This book was written to fill that gap.
