‘Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.'
A genuinely lovely listen — almost like getting quiet life advice from a thoughtful Japanese uncle. Murakami threads his memories and routines through running so naturally that the whole thing feels both personal and meditative. A simple but beautifully resonant memoir that holds together surprisingly well through that single repeating variable.
