Ichiro Kishimi
“PHILOSOPHER: Instead of seeking approval, one has to approve oneself, with one’s own mind.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to be Happy: True Contentment Is In Your Power

Ichiro Kishimi
“He is saying not just to love one’s neighbour, but to love them as much as one loves oneself. If one cannot love oneself, one cannot love others. If one cannot believe in oneself, one cannot believe in others. Please think of the phrase as carrying that connotation. You are insisting that you cannot believe in other people, but that is because you have not managed to truly believe in yourself.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to be Happy: True Contentment Is In Your Power

Ichiro Kishimi
“The attitude of the need for approval, of trying to get another person to decide one’s worth, is just dependence.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to be Happy: True Contentment Is In Your Power

Ichiro Kishimi
“The birth of society is, in other words, the birth of suffering.”
Ichiro Kishimi, The Courage to be Happy: True Contentment Is In Your Power

Ichiro Kishimi
“PHILOSOPHER: As Fromm says, ‘While one is consciously afraid of not being loved, the real, though usually unconscious fear is that of loving.’ And then he continues by stating, ‘To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.”
