小幸福寶典

Rate this book
最糟的回憶,未來有一天也會變成美好的回憶。

繼暢銷書《食記百味》之後,吉本芭娜娜全新超人氣療癒散文集。
只講幸福的事情,再多一點。
溫柔地寫下,她在生活中的四十六個發現。
讀來讓人由衷感到幸福──有餘溫

吉本芭娜娜為日本刊行百年的《婦人公論》雜誌撰寫超人氣專欄集結成冊。

從第一篇寫「種睫毛」的好處,居然是種的時候可以睡覺,寫到最後一篇「創造幸福」,吉本芭娜娜期許自己成為一個「光看她的生活方式,就像在用言辭讚美某人」的那種人。

全書收錄46篇專欄隨筆,以「幸福」為主題,談論生活、家人(還有烏龜、貓奶奶貓爺爺和愛犬)、朋友、職人,及以工作為核心的人生哲學。本書集結吉本芭娜娜畢生的文字菁華。當下沒注意到的感受,事情過後回想起來才會發現,這種微不足道的幸福,像石頭、雜草般遍布每個人的生活,不起眼卻生命力旺盛,每當脆弱或不安來襲時,若能一念間緊握手心,就足以成為安定自我的力量。

寫作三十年,過去沉迷占卜、跳舞、旅行、吃美食的吉本芭娜娜,發現小不點長大了,身體毛病多了,開始有遲鈍、色衰(咦?)、動怒的時候。年歲漸長,人生又邁向新篇章,真實生活狀況總是措手不及,好比選旅館選到雷、用餐時間限制多,搬家筋疲力盡、友人聚少離多,子女長大不再親暱,甚至寵物親人過世,幸福不夠、力氣不夠的時刻愈來愈多,如何才能夠從容不迫過生活?

相信自己寫的小幸福可以拯救自己,專欄一寫就停不下來。
有沒有喜歡的人看了都會會心一笑的東西?《小幸福寶典》就是這樣誕生的。

「我希望這本書可以在讀者高興的時候,隨意從喜歡的段落開始看起,讓人心情稍微放鬆。一頁一頁慢慢翻閱,或者放置數年都沒關係。當小幸福不夠的時候請翻開本書。」──吉本芭娜娜

About the author

Banana Yoshimoto

236 books9,172 followers
Banana Yoshimoto (よしもと ばなな or 吉本 ばなな) is the pen name of Mahoko Yoshimoto (吉本 真秀子), a Japanese contemporary writer. She writes her name in hiragana. (See also 吉本芭娜娜 (Chinese).)

Along with having a famous father, poet Takaaki Yoshimoto, Banana's sister, Haruno Yoiko, is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. Growing up in a liberal family, she learned the value of independence from a young age.

She graduated from Nihon University's Art College, majoring in Literature. During that time, she took the pseudonym "Banana" after her love of banana flowers, a name she recognizes as both "cute" and "purposefully androgynous."

Despite her success, Yoshimoto remains a down-to-earth and obscure figure. Whenever she appears in public she eschews make-up and dresses simply. She keeps her personal life guarded, and reveals little about her certified Rolfing practitioner, Hiroyoshi Tahata and son (born in 2003). Instead, she talks about her writing. Each day she takes half an hour to write at her computer, and she says, "I tend to feel guilty because I write these stories almost for fun."

「與其計算不幸,不如只去細數收穫」
A simple book that leaves a smile on my face each time I finish an article :)
