Book Introduction & Reader Reactions: The "Circle of Empathy" Spreading on Social Media

In today's world, where "online interactions" due to the spread of remote work intersect with real-life "face-to-face engagement," an increasing number of people find themselves constantly worrying about others and depleting their own energy. This book is a new bible for the Reiwa era, proposing "sustainable consideration" that allows individuals to build good relationships with others without sacrificing themselves.

Currently, the "essence of consideration" is reaching a wide range of people, from students to business professionals and adults. Numerous moving and empathetic voices have been received from readers and social media, including:

"The phrase 'Consider yourself first' was an eye-opener. My heart was saved, and tears welled up."

"Consideration is something you do for life, so you can't keep it up if you're trying too hard. Meeting this book has made my human relationships so much easier."

"I'm grateful that it's not about psychology or difficult theories, but about concrete actions that can be implemented immediately, from greetings to everyday behavior."
