私が彼を殺した～東野圭吾

The last time I read a novel ny Higashino Keigo was exactly 10 years ago when I only could stand dynamic stories with constant scenary changes. Higashno's book is a typical one that even a bibliophobe like me can read with no hesitation.

This time, a really good friend of mine lent me this book to test my IQ (what a horrible monster he is!) and the result was...

Mottainai! ～もったいない

I am proud being Japanese who understand naturally the concept of not wasting things. After reading several times I sent it to my little sister with her birthday present.

仕事ができる人はなぜ筋トレをするのか (幻冬舎新書) (新書)～山本ケイイチ

It was intersting to focus on the common concept of training business skills and building muscles. However I was rather inpressed by the fact that aerobic excercise may cause a bad effect for your skin! It is because of the radical (active) oxygen produced by the excercise. Also it was said that body building would not fit for women. So, what should I do next??

Google経済学～柴山政行

The statements were explained with analogies and Q & A in each chapter which were concise and to the point. Could not understand all (such as funds management) however could empathise with the usability of Google which I use everyday!

脳にいいことだけをやりなさい！～マーシー・シャイモフ

All the care you need for your brain, is positive thinking. As said in many books we only use 2 or 3 % of brain in our life. Some methods of using the rest of it.

Most of the author's advise was something I try to do in my everyday life:

Don't forget to thank people, my actual life, and the way it is.
Clear off anything that is negative.
Feel love in mind toward yourself and others.
Say a loving word to people who you love.
Forgive people.
Laugh.
etc...

And here is the list of things I am really trying to do, but with some difficulty...

Eat healthy for your brain << though I'm addicted to sweets...
Sleep at 10pm!!

These seem very ambigue and lameness, however they are proved scientifically in the book. I wanted to know a lot more about how to produce the effective chemical substances necessary for brain from food.

20代のいま、やっておくべきお金のこと～中村芳子

I didn't agree with all the statements, but as a beginner of managing money, some advise were useful:

1/ A housewife don't need to take out a death insurance (because there is no financial problem after her death who doesn't have an income) .
2/ Saving a cup of coffee per day for 3 years can offer you a holiday abroad.
3/ Paying any comission is useless. Try never to pay them... which happens to me when I forget returning DVD at a rental shop on time the penalty fee is charged.

Throughout the book I could glimpse somewhat the author's religious moral ideas which was not infamiliar but seemed too much to mention in this book. However the author might have considered the low mentality of young people in their 20s and decided to mention what is right and what is wrong.
