I'm sorry, I can't push myself any further. Until those hurt by a difficult society regain their "self" again. By Kiyonobu Hirooka Release Date: January 5, 2026 Content Introduction from Ascom Gatan, goton. The sound of a train echoes. In front of a small private railway station, there is a psychiatrist known as "the kindest in Japan." Those who visit the clinic are people who have been deeply wounded in their hearts by the unreasonable modern society and have had to stop their lives for a long time. - A young woman who became a teacher with ideals but was about to be crushed by overwork. - A former ace salesman who suffered from depression after the gears of his life broke down with his promotion. - A female employee who was forced to take a leave of absence due to power harassment at a major company. - A daughter who cares for her sick mother and has added too many "rituals" in her daily life. - A young man who became afraid of people's eyes and shut himself in after a setback in a part-time job. They are not special people. Just like us, they live their lives earnestly every day, but they are ordinary people who have lost their mental balance with just a small stumble. Confused, they visit the clinic, and are supported by the doctor's slow words and empathetic attitude, gradually regaining their "self" and learning the "power to live without pushing themselves." In the process, they acquire "Four perspectives" to rebuild their hearts and "Techniques for taking breaks" to protect their minds and bodies. All of them are useful in everyday life for anyone. What this book depicts is not "perfect recovery." Even while carrying anxiety and pain, it's a quiet and certain change, "being able to move forward at your own pace." To those of us in modern society who are driven by work and running out of energy----. This book is "You can be a little kinder to yourself." It's a book that whispers gently.
