Description
[Machine Translation] The "Lost 20 Years" coincided with a self-help boom among the Japanese people. The watchwords were "self-help," "skill improvement," and "making dreams come true. This boom was supported by the translation of the book "Jishu-ron" ("Self-help Theory"). The Japanese who were striving for self-improvement revered this book as their bible. However, few people realize that the bible is actually an abridged translation, a mere collection of how-to's for success, without the spirit of the original book (the complete translation). The Japanese people have blindly believed in "distorted self-help," so to speak. As a result of the self-help boom, disparities have widened and a "sense of resignation" has spread. This article thoroughly dissects the social pathology of modern Japan.
