This is a nonfiction book about appreciation that came out in January. The title translates to "I See You". I am 99% sure it's never going to be translated into English, but, well. It's very good! I liked the approach it took.
Broadly, it identifies a core problem – there is a chronic lack of appreciation in modern society – and divides its examination into three sections: Why appreciation is not given, Why appreciation is not received, and How to fix this. The definition of appreciation used is twofold: appreciation of achievements ("I am skilled") and appreciation of the self ("I am a lovable part of the community"). It's important that the appreciation be genuine and freely given.
