Mitsuro Sato: Who approves happiness?

Mitsuro Sato, one of Japan's most popular authors in the field of spirituality, shares "ways to be happy at work" by weaving together his own experiences as a former salaried employee, his witty storytelling, and advice that defies conventional wisdom. In *Who Approves Happiness?*, a book offering "minimal interference" for the happiness of salaried workers, the author presents the worries of all office workers through various episodes and, through the process of resolving them, discovers the "conditions of a happy person" that one must possess as a "working person." Kotaro, a sales genius transferred from Tokyo to a regional branch, faces various obstacles from his very first day. Just then, Mr. Dal-gwan, a maintenance staff member, appears and offers "interference" that goes beyond Kotaro's common sense. The book does not stop at simple counseling or lectures on social etiquette, nor is it formulaic advice. It offers the fun of discovering paradoxical wisdom through the process of conflict and reconciliation involving Kotaro, the field worker; Mr. Dal-gwan, who is responsible for looking after other employees; and their colleagues. As the book reaches its grand finale, the author's heartfelt encouragement for office workers evokes a quiet affection and emotion in the readers. A survey was conducted on @DIME, the webzine of the popular Japanese trend magazine DIME, to select 18 reasons why you want to quit your job, which were then organized into the themes of each chapter.
