Story
ぼくがよく行くイギリスでも10月に入るころになると、街にはお化けや魔女、ドクロやジャック・オーランターンなどのチョコレートがあちこちで売られて、それはもう賑やか。かのフォートナムメイソンの地下の売り場なんて、ぜひごらんいただきたいくらいです。 でも、キリスト教のヨーロッパでなぜこんなお化けや魔女のお祭りが堂々と? そもそも、ハロウィンはオール・ハロウズ・デイ(All Hallows)の前夜祭を意味します。キリスト教の聖者(hallow)すべてを祭る11月1日の前夜は、死者の魂が地上にもどってくるときだとされていました。それを、All Hallows Eve、つまりハロウィンとして、祝っているのです。(本文より) 占星術等占いはもちろん、心理学や哲学、神秘学、等にまつわるエッセイを中心にしたメルマガ鏡リュウジ「プラネタリー夜話」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kagami.html

相手の痛みを知る、もしくは喜びをわかちあうという意味での共感は、人と人とがコミュニケーションする上での基盤といってもいいものです。また、大自然の美しい景色や素晴らしい芸術に触れたときに僕たちの心が揺さぶられるのは、僕らが「モノ」や「コト」に感応、あるいは共感する力を持っているからです。(本文より) 精神科医名越康文メルマガ「生きるための対話(dialogue)」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
損得ではなく、縁で選ぶ 就職活動のシーズンになると特に多くなるのが、「優柔不断で物事を決められない」というお悩みです。 優柔不断というのは、もちろん「性格的な特性」ということもありえます。ただ、若い方の就職や進路選択といったケースでは、性格以前に、そもそも「選ぶ」あるいは「決める」ということに慣れていない、ということも少なくありません。 就職活動を控えた学生の方から相談を受けると気づくのは、彼ら、彼女らの多くが、「初任給」「待遇」「社員数」「福利厚生」といった、数字やデータで表すことのできる指標で頭がいっぱいになっていることに気がつきます。 言うまでもなく、就職先を決めるときに、それらの数字やデータは大切です。でも、そういう数値で表せるような「客観的な情報」というのは、最終的に何かを「選ぶ」ときには決め手になってくれません。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
自分自身を振り返ってみると、ぼくが占いという怪しき世界に関心をもったのは、子供の頃に手にしたタロットが最初だったんです。いつしかタロットのコレクションも増えているし、「占星術のヒト」である以上に「カードのヒト」なのかもしれません。 このようなカード占いの魅力はどこにあるのかなとちょっと考えてみました。 それはカード占いが「コスモスとカオスのちょうど真ん中あたり」にあるからじゃないかと思い至りました。そして、それはぼくたち人間がごく普通にもっている人生観、世界観にフィットしているんじゃないかと。 可変性があるけれど、秩序もあるのが現実の世界 ぼくたちは人生をある程度、計画立てて予測します。今、世界にはこんな要素があって、これくらいの時期にこうなりそうだ、だからこうしよう、というようなことです。 鏡リュウジ「プラネタリー夜話」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kagami.html

Story
言葉には射程距離があります。 言葉を発する人がそれを意識しているかどうかとは関係なく、言葉にはそれが「届く」距離というものがある。言葉は辞書的な意味として使われる「道具」ではなく、それを発した人、あるいは受け取る人が持つ歴史的、心理的、あるいは関係性によって、届いたり、届かなかったり、誤解されたり、矮小化されたりするものなのです。 これは、言われれば誰もが思い当たる、言葉が持っている当たり前の性質です。しかし実際には、しばしば無視されたまま言葉が交わされ、そこに膨大な誤解や軋轢が生まれているのです。 言葉の射程距離は、その言葉を取り巻く枠組みを何となく共有できるかどうかによって決まります。それを共有できなくなった瞬間、言葉はありとあらゆる形で誤読されるようになります。 精神科医名越康文メルマガ「生きるための対話(dialogue)」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
現代のさまざまな学問や思考の方法は、今の社会がどのようなしくみになっていて、どのように動いているのか、ということについて大きな知見を与えてくれます。 ですが、それが取りこぼしてしまいがちなのは、その社会の中で生きて、悩んでいるのは、ほかの誰でもない、誰かとは交換できない自分であるということ。自分ではどうすることもできないような社会の状況や時代の中で……それを占いの見地から運命といってもいいでしょう……あがきながら生きている自分だ、という視点ではないでしょうか。 ユングにはその視点があります。 ユングの思想のなかには時代を超えた、人類の普遍性を射程に入れようというスケールの大きな視点がある一方で、その普遍性を前にした、個々の人間のきしみや葛藤と向き合っていこうという姿勢がある、ということなのです。 占星術等占いはもちろん、心理学や哲学、神秘学、等にまつわるエッセイを中心にしたメルマガ鏡リュウジ「プラネタリー夜話」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kagami.html

Story
高すぎるハードル とある調査によると、今の高校生・大学生は友人が平均100~150人もいるそうです。一方で親友と呼べる友人が1人もいないと悩んでいる若者も少なくないそうです。 「友達はたくさんいるけど、親友はいない」とか「友達は少ないけど、親友はいる」というけれど、「友達」や「親友」をどう定義づけるかによって話が変わってきますよね。 僕の感覚では「友達が150人います」って、ありえないんですよね。「友達」というからには継続的な関係でしょうし、ある程度の親密さを維持しようと思ったら、時間的にも空間的にも、せいぜい数十人が限界じゃないかというのが、僕の感覚です。でも、例えば「顔見知り」レベルの相手を「友達」と呼ぶのであれば、100人でも200人でも「友達」を作ることは可能かもしれませんね。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

(1)お笑い芸人の真似をしない 「おもしろい話がしたい」人が、一番やってはいけないこと、それは「プロのお笑い芸人の真似をする」ということなんです。 テレビのバラエティ番組で笑いを取るお笑い芸人さんを見ていると、ネタやノウハウを取り入れたらさぞかしウケるんじゃないか、と考える人は多いでしょう。でも、実際にやってみると、けっこう「寒い」ことになってしまうことが多いですよね。 それは考えてみれば当然で、素人には「芸」がないからです。彼らは長年にわたって芸を磨いてきたプロです。さらに、彼らが芸を披露しているテレビ番組や舞台というのは、日常の時間空間ではありません。テレビや舞台という非日常空間で笑いを取るために、プロの芸人が磨き続けてきた「笑いの技法」というのは、そう簡単に日常会話に持ち込むことはできない、と考えたほうが無難だと思います。 (本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■才能の本質は、誰も評価のくだしようがない場所に宿る 「人は誰でも、その人だけの才能を持っている」ということがよくいわれます。確かに、一言で「才能」といっても多様です。頭が良い人には学者の才能があるかもしれないし、発想の斬新さを持つ人は、アーティストの才能を持っているかもしれない。運動能力の高い人は、アスリートとしての才能に恵まれている、といえるかもしれない。 でも、もしそういうものだけを「才能」と呼ぶのであれば、やはり才能というのは、一部の恵まれた人だけに宿るもの、というほかないでしょう。なぜなら、現実問題としてそれらの「才能」を開花させ、大きな成功を収めている人はごく一部だからです。あるいは、若い頃「才能がある」と評価されたとしても、その世界で20年、30年という時間を経てなお高い評価を得続ける人は残念ながら、わずかです。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

先日、とある雑誌の企画で、いわゆる「お掃除ロボット」を使わせていただく機会がありました。正直、これまであまり必要性を感じたことはなかったのですが、使ってみると非常に面白かった。 ただ、僕の自宅で使い続けるにはひとつだけ、大問題がありました。それはお掃除ロボットが部屋を動き回るたびに、インコの「おもち」が、引きつけを起こしそうなぐらいに怖がってしまうということです。お掃除ロボットも捨て難いけれど、「おもち」はまぁ義理のある以前からの同居人(鳥)ですからね。残念ながら我が家で使い続けるのは不可能! ということになり、大阪出張のついでに、母親に譲ることにしました。 私の母親も80歳を超えていて、僕としては「お掃除ロボットなんて、使い方わかるのかなぁ?」と半信半疑だったんですが、ふたを開ければすごく喜んでくれました。よく考えてみればうちの母親は掃除や洗濯といった家事が大の苦手。彼女にとっては、「勝手に掃除をしてくれるロボット」というのは、文字通り夢のような家電! ということなのでしょう。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

「本を買っても、結局は読まずに積み上げているだけなんです」という人がいます。実は何を隠そう、僕も多くの本を「積ん読」にしている人間です。「まったく読んでない」と言うとそこまで多くはないかもしれませんが、初めのほうを読んだだけでそのまま放置、ということであれば、おそらく買った本の少なくとも7割は「積ん読」になっています。 もちろん、引越しなどの際には処分しますが、少なくとも何百冊という「ちゃんと読んでいない本」が本棚にあることはまちがいないでしょう。 断捨離に代表されるような片付け・整理術の観点からいえば、こうした「今後、まず読むことのない本」はさっさと捨てた方がいい、ということになるでしょう。僕も、こうした「使わないなら捨てる」という意見に、基本的に賛成です。 (本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■人はなぜ笑うのか 「笑い」が心や身体に良い影響を与えるということが、近年、さまざまな分野において指摘されるようになっています。その一方で、「人はなぜ笑うのか」という問いには、まだ明確な答えが得られてはいません。 もちろん心理学では、このテーマについてさまざまな説明がなされてきました。例えば「親が笑うから、子供はそれを真似て笑う」というのもその有力な説のひとつです。子供を見ると親は笑う。その表情を、子供が真似る。そうやって子供が笑うと親は喜ぶので、子供はもっと笑うようになる。近年ではいわゆる「ミラーニューロン」の考え方をあてはめて説明するものもあります。(本文より)名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

Story
■人見知りの起源 発達心理学的には「人見知り」は、いわゆる「物心がつく」2-3歳の頃から始まります。生まれてからしばらく続く母親との幸福な一体感。そこに介入しようとする異物(父親や他人)への拒否反応が、「人見知り」の根っこにある感情です。 もちろん、成長とともに、人は母親だけでなく、父親や兄弟、あるいは友人や恋人に対しても一体感を感じるようになります。しかしその都度、「それ以外」の対象に対して拒否反応が起きる。一般的にはこれを「人見知り」と呼んでいるのではないかと思います。 言い換えれば「人見知りを克服する」というのは、人間の本能に反したことだと言うこともできるでしょう。人間にとっての「快」は基本的に、「慣れ親しんだ環境への一体感」のほうにあります。人見知りを克服するには、わざわざ幸福な一体感を捨て、「不快」の方向へ舵を切ることが必要です。ですから理論的には、人見知りを克服するには、「母親との一体感を捨てるほどの利益」を、自分自身が納得する必要があります。(本文より) 名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/nakoshi.html

■面倒臭いとは何か 「面倒臭い」という心理とどう付き合っていくかというのは、意外に深いテーマなんです。「面倒臭い」というのはどういうことか。それは、いま自分が置かれている状況や取り掛かっている物事が、自分にとって「退屈である」ということにほかなりません。そして「退屈である」というのは実は「怒り」なんです。ただ、退屈=怒りと言われても、多くの人はちょっとピンとこないかもしれませんね。というのも、「怒り」というと一般的には「カチンとくる」とか「ムカッとする」という、どちらかというと瞬間的な怒りをイメージされる人が多いから。でも、「退屈」というのは、そういう瞬間的な怒りとは異なる、持続的な怒りの感情のことです。。(本文より)名越康文の生きるための対話(dialogue)はこちらから→http://yakanhiko.com/nakoshi.html

■ハワイから届いた「いぶし銀」のメッセージ
10歳から仏門に入られた天台宗大僧正の荒了寛さん。
開教総長としてハワイに渡り40年。
「心が軽くなる」
「何度も読み返したい」と話題となった
前作『365日を穏やかに過ごす心の習慣。』に続く
磨き込まれたことばが沁みる新作をお届けします。
私たちはなぜ悩み、苦しむのか。
それは「こうあらねばならない」と自分で自分を縛ったり、
身近な人、あるいは他人さえも縛ろうとするからです。
でも、この世に永遠に決められていることなど何もありません。
何事は常に変化しています。
つまり、大きく大きく物事をとらえるようにして
真理を知ることが大切で、
そのために必要となるのが
「こだわらない」「とらわれない」という念じ方となります。
これは仏教の「無常」という教えにまさに通じています。
こうしたことに気づきさえすれば、
ほとんどの悩みや苦しみはなくなるよ、と
荒さんは説かれています。
深い感動を与えてくれる名言もふんだんに盛り込んだ本書。
一読すればたちまち、きっと
心がスゥーッと軽くなることに気づくでしょう。

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
