No matter when or how many times I read it, it only deepens my understanding. Founded in 1999, Spectator is a culture magazine published three times a year by Editorial Department. It delves into one theme in detail.
"Read this and it will change your life"
Self-help media tempts and confuses people with such sweet words.
It's annoying because even if you think it has nothing to do with you, it reaches you through social media and apps, and you end up "improving yourself" without even realizing it.
The culture of self-improvement is deeply ingrained in society.
Self-help, education, self-esteem, positive thinking...
When and how did these discourses promoting growth and improvement take root?
Tracing its roots, we find that the seeds were sown as early as the Meiji period.
As we enter an era of low economic growth and a society that demands even greater effort and improvement, here are the secrets of self-development that you should know now to avoid getting lost.
