A pretty easy book to bring in the new year. Really enjoyable recount of what Rental Person has done (through in-line tweets), and overall explanation of his philosophy. A good ‘we turned a twitter account into a book’ book.
What a legendary guy! I love his philosophy and reasons to do nothing.
When he said he feels its injustice to be paid the same salary as another colleague, when for doing the same exact work, he endures and takes mental stress, whereas the colleague enjoys it, I laughed so hard. It makes sense!
Rental person to do nothing is such a fun, bakchod concept. I'd like to try one day, and hopefully meet Shoji in Tokyo this year.
This is really interesting. The multitude of examples Mr Rental Person provides are a good resource to reflect on human behavior in society. Why would someone rent a stranger to just be there and do nothing? I wish there were similar situations elsewhere in the world for us to draw comparisons between different societies. There's really a lot to reflect on in this book.
