Eight Million Ways to Happiness: Wisdom for Inspiration and Healing from the Heart of Japan

內容簡介

內容簡介 一位日本文化歷史學家分享了一條通往快樂生活的道路，汲取自其國家獨特的精神與自然觀，提供了「引人入勝」（《冬日》作者 Katherine May 讚譽）的個人回憶、文化報導與實用指南的完美結合，適合所有在當代紛亂世界中難以尋求平衡的人。人人都追求幸福，但很少有人知道如何獲得它。全球數百萬人轉向日本尋求建議，無論是尋找他們的 Ikigai（生存價值），還是鼓起 The Courage to Be Disliked（被討厭的勇氣）。日本的精神傳統隱藏在日常生活中，構成了我們喜愛該國文化的基礎。沒有日本的精神滋養，小野二郎就不會夢想著製作壽司；宮崎駿的電影就不會帶領我們進入奇幻世界；近藤麻理惠也無法點燃火花。在她的著作**《八百萬種幸福之道》**中，洋子 裕子（Hiroko Yoda）呈現了她長達十年、深入祖國精神核心的探索成果。讀者將跟隨裕子訓練成為神道教神社舞者、參與佛教葬禮儀式、與修驗道禁慾者一起登上聖山，並會見日本現存最後一位傳統的 **Itako（巫女）**之一。她的故事融合了個人、文化和歷史視角，為任何背景的讀者提供了人生課程。裕子喚醒讀者認識到一種傳統的精神靈活性，它能與現代世俗世界無縫共存，並在生命不可避免的起伏中強化我們。我們都受制於無法控制的力量，但同時也是一個更大的自然系統的一部分。如果我們學會如何重新連結，這個系統就能夠賦予我們力量。A Japanese cultural historian shares a path to joyful living drawn from her nation’s unique approach to spirituality and nature, offering a “fascinating” (Wintering author Katherine May) blend of memoir, cultural reporting, and practical guidance for anyone struggling to find balance in our turbulent modern world.Everyone’s in the pursuit of happiness, but few know how to attain it. Millions around the world have turned to Japan for advice on finding their Ikigai, or summoning The Courage to Be Disliked. Japan’s spiritual traditions hide in plain sight, forming the basis of so much of what we love about the country’s culture. Without Japan’s spiritual sustenance, Jiro wouldn’t dream of sushi; Hayao Miyazaki’s films wouldn’t spirit us away; and Marie Kondo wouldn’t spark joy.In her book Eight Million Ways to Happiness, Hiroko Yoda offers the culmination of her decade-long odyssey into the spiritual heart of her homeland. Readers follow Hiroko as she trains as a Shinto shrine-dancer, partakes in Buddhist funeral rituals, ascends holy mountains with Shugendo ascetics, and meets one of Japan’s last living itako, a traditional mystic. Her stories—personal, cultural, and historical—offer life lessons for readers of any background.Hiroko awakens readers to the idea of a traditional spiritual flexibility that seamlessly coexists with the modern secular world, fortifying us through life’s inevitable ups and downs. We are all subject to forces beyond our control, but we are also part of a bigger natural system that can strengthen us—if we learn how to reconnect with it.
