Story
公立中学を卒業して、ぼくは、国立の進学校に入った。噂をききつけた近所の人が、すぐに家庭教師を頼んできた。 だから、ぼくは、高校一年生からアルバイトをすることになった。思えば、それからずっと働く人生である。家庭教師は、それから大学院を卒業するまで、ずっと携わった。 大学生のとき、少し離れたところに住む黒坂くんのお母さんが、家庭教師を頼んできた。大きな森の中の屋敷に住む、「おぼっちゃん」だった。 黒坂家は、お父さんが貿易でずいぶん儲けて、基礎を築いたらしい。大きな犬が二頭、屋敷の中で走り回ってきて、呼び鈴を押すとワンワン吠えた。その勢いがあまりにも凄いので、犬好きのぼくもちょっと尻込みするほどだった。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
時々会って話すアメリカ人がいる。彼はシンガポール在住なのだけれども、なぜか気が合って、学会で話したり、東京やシンガポールでお酒を飲んだり、いろいろな意見を交換する。 彼も脳科学や意識の問題が専門だけれども、いつも小難しい話ばかりしているわけではない。女性が「天使」になって飛んでワインを持ってくるバーが気に入って、連日通ったこともある。森羅万象、それこそ政治から経済まで、ありとあらゆることを話して、飽きることがない。 先日、彼が東京に来たとき、一緒に秋葉原を歩いた。メイドの格好をした女の子たちを見て、目を丸くした彼。もっとも、好奇心を抱いたのかどうか、はっきりとはしなかったが。 東京にも住んでいたことがあるという彼。秋葉原を散策した後、その流れでお気に入りだという神田の「やぶそば」に行った。お酒を飲みながら肴をつまんで、それからそばを食べた。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
夏も盛りの、ある日のこと。 気温が高すぎて、十分な運動を確保できない。すると、だんだん体調が悪くなってくる。だから、多少暑くても、がまんして少しでも走ろうと思った。 夏の真ん中は、奇妙な季節。至るところに生きものの気配に充ちているようでいながら、不思議に「死」の影が忍び寄ってきている。森の中を走り抜ける時、そこかしこの葉っぱの上に、セミの抜け殻が果実のように「放置」されているのを見た。 飛んでいる蝶も、トンボも、ハチも、どこか、抜け殻のような透明な影を引きずっているようにも感じられる。今、こうして走っている自分も、何度も季節が回ったその後では、抜け殻のようになってしまうのだろう。 気温が高いので、少し走っただけで、汗が噴き出す。水道のところで、蛇口からすくって、身体にかける。すぐに乾いてしまうだろうけれども、無いよりはましだ。 森の脇を通っている細い道を走って、向こう側に抜けようとした、その時のことだった。土の上に、緑の点があった。なんだろう、と足を緩めると、点が、ふわっとかたまりへと変化した。(本文より) 茂木健一郎の「樹下の微睡み」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/mogi.html

Story
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
