Shape of Happiness
About This Novel
"The Shape of Happiness" is the first collection of essays by the powerful Asian actor Ryoko Hirosue. It is also a collection of life thoughts of a 40-year-old actress. It covers a woman's thoughts and feelings from adolescence to important life stages such as love, work, marriage, and childbirth. Since middle school, Hirosue's favorite thing to read is philosophy books, so when writing this book, he decided to start with philosophical quotations that resonate with him, and frankly share his life experiences and survival insights: he discovered the "Ryoko Smile Tactics" in the third grade of elementary school and still maintains it to this day; he was in the center of a bullying storm in middle school, and realized the weight of friendship after being saved by a friend; he cut his hair short in order to convey a lively and cheerful impression in auditions, and since then he has learned that "language" is not the only means of conveying information; therefore After suffering from pyelonephritis due to heavy work and childcare, I was shocked to realize that whether in acting or in life, "don't overbear"; at the age of forty, I have just started on the road of "love", and admit that my understanding of love is still insufficient; just like my grandmother and mother , believing that it is better to age gracefully than to resist aging, and accept the medals of time calmly... The thinking of Nietzsche, Descartes, Hesse, Hannah Arendt, and Beauvoir all nourished and encouraged Hirosue at different stages to keep thinking and face the future with vigor.
