Playing Ball on Running Water: The Japanese Way to Building a Better Life
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


This is a very interesting book that "shows you how to lead a more construcive, fulfilling life by utilizing the principles of a unique Japanese philosophy -- Morita Psychotherapy."

Morita's system focuses our attention on reality and the beauties of everyday living.

My favorite parts were about "Living Exercises" -- such as taking a 30 minute daily walk, reading light non-fiction before bedtime, volunteering, and keeping a journal.
