Dear Mr. Zelinski,
My name is Sohei, I am mailing you because your book The Joy of Not Working encouraged my life style so much.
I am a practitioner of "work less, spend less" life style in Tokyo. I have ideas of novel, so I need time for writing development.
In this metropolis, the myth which says money brings glory of the "WINNER" is still dominant. I think happiness is not buyable but which we can make by ourselves. Everytime when I lose self-confidence I open your book The Joy of Not Working. Although I have already read through nearly 10 times there are new discoveries. I have accustomed myself to be ossified for loneliness but I am desire to overcome this and carve a new life eagerly.
I'd like to continue to believe in fellowship of job-free happiness rather than major rule of economic animals. I'm going to make time for reading your other books before too long.
I wish your good health and success.
Sincerely
Sohei Tonouchi
