Book SynopsisThe Laws of Steel: Living a Life of Resilience, Confidence and Prosperity is the 26th volume of the Laws Series by Ryuho Okawa. "Steel" here means our true strength as children of God; we have an inherent power to manifest happiness and prosperity in our lives, and to overcome any evil or conflict to open a Golden Age. This book is a compilation of six lectures that Ryuho Okawa gave in 2018 and 2019, each containing passionate messages for us to open a brighter future for ourselves and the world. It begins with a topic on how to invite prosperity. According to the author, happiness and prosperity are already inherent in all of us and all we need to do is just change our mindset to manifest them in real life. Chapter 2 describes the law of cause and effect, the basic principle to achieve success. Okawa says that if we want to be truly successful in life, we need to understand the law of cause and effect and humbly accept the outcome of our own thoughts and actions. In Chapter 3, Okawa refers to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and how we should live and work in this modern society where scientific technology rapidly advances and people's life expectancy greatly increases. He also suggests us to do "inspiration-able" work and gives advice on how to receive good inspirations from heaven. These inspirations, he says, will also serve to solve many difficult challenges that we face in international society. In Chapter 4, Okawa talks of his personal experience on how he has achieved success through self-confidence, passion, and the heart of gratitude. He also refers to hot global issues including Iran and Israel, and presents ways to overcome conflicts between Christianity and Islam. In Chapter 5, Okawa talks of his mission and determination as a savior, and calls on people to live in a spiritual way and contribute to create a better world. The concluding chapter talks of the power to make miracles, and Okawa introduces some of the many miracles that happened to the members of Happy Science. He also emphasizes the importance of having a pure mind, giving love to others, and using prayers to open a brighter future. This powerful and inspiring book will not only show us the ways to achieve true happiness and prosperity, but also the ways to solve many global issues we now face. It presents us with wisdom that is based on a spiritual perspective, and a new design for our future society. With the increasing number of people who read and understand the spiritual truths described in this book, we can overcome different values and create a peaceful world, thereby ushering in a Golden Age.

Book Synopsis“Dylan Marron is the internet’s Love Warrior. His work is fresh, deeply honest, wildly creative, and right on time.” —Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Dylan Marron is like a modern Mister Rogers for the digital age.” —Jason Sudeikis ​​From the host of the award-winning, critically acclaimed podcast Conversations with People Who Hate Me comes a thought-provoking, witty, and inspirational exploration of difficult conversations and how to navigate them. Dylan Marron’s work has racked up millions of views and worldwide support. From his acclaimed Every Single Word video series highlighting the lack of diversity in Hollywood to his web series Sitting in Bathrooms with Trans People, Marron has explored some of today’s biggest social issues. Yet, according to some strangers on the internet, Marron is a “moron,” a “beta male,” and a “talentless hack.” Rather than running from this online vitriol, Marron began a social experiment in which he invited his detractors to chat with him on the phone—and those conversations revealed surprising and fascinating insights. Now, Marron retraces his journey through a project that connects adversarial strangers in a time of unprecedented division. After years of production and dozens of phone calls, he shares what he’s learned about having difficult conversations and how having them can help close the ever-growing distance between us. Charmingly candid and refreshingly hopeful, Conversations with People Who Hate Me will serve as both a guide to anyone partaking in dif­ficult conversations and a permission slip for those who dare to believe that connection is possible.Trade Review“I read Conversations with People Who Hate Me in one sitting—hoping that Dylan Marron’s wisdom, sincerity, and hilarity might help me believe again in the potential goodness of the internet. It worked. I believe! Dylan Marron is the internet’s Love Warrior. His work is fresh, deeply honest, wildly creative, and right on time.” -- Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed"This book has shifted something in me forever. Dylan Marron is as dynamic on the page as he has ever been recorded on video, audio, or live and in person. His ability to see through the facade of human performance and into the heart is enviable, and his skill in transferring the connective tissue of that moment into prose is altogether rare. There is no other book like this because no one else could have written this book with the clarity and compassion of Marron." -- Ashley C. Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Somebody's Daughter"Part memoir, part guidebook, Conversations with People Who Hate Me reads as if a dear friend is opening their heart to you, knowing you'll heed their hard-earned advice. Dylan masterfully balances unflinching honesty and wit with introspection and grace we could all stand to learn from." -- Franchesca Ramsey, host of MTV’s “Decoded” and author of Well, That Escalated Quickly"Dylan Marron holds the beating, human heart of the internet in his own heart. This is an essential and necessary book of brilliance, insight, and compassion." -- Jonny Sun, New York Times and international bestselling author of Goodbye, again and everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too"With this detailed account of his life and work in the public eye, Dylan is showcasing his unique ability to interpret digital and human interactions. He parses out their differences before stunning you with the ways they’ve become the same. Read this with as much thought and care as he did writing it." -- Bowen Yang, comedian, “Saturday Night Live”"With his signature wit and sincerity, Dylan Marron steps into the role of cultural anthropologist for a fair and nuanced examination of phenomena seemingly devoid of nuance: trolls, haters, cancellation. Far more than just a personal narrative, Marron opens the aperture to shed light on the ways our culture rewards the dismissive and the divisive. Where others may find only despair, Marron offers us hope and a path towards finding connection and meaning in spite of and through our differences. This is a call to bring us from out behind our screens—beyond hot takes and takedowns—and back to our shared, messy humanity. Reading this will inspire you practice the lost art of conversation, to open your ears and listen not just to what is being said, but the deeper meaning behind it." -- Nora McInerny, host of "Terrible, Thanks for Asking""This book gives you the kind of thoughtful insight you'd crave from a very good friend. Dylan's writing is warm, patient, intelligent, and provocative. Recommended reading for anyone who spends time on the internet." -- Jo Firestone, comedian, "The Tonight Show""I want to DM this book to the masses (were that not missing the point)! A welcome, cozy haven from the relentless performance of the digital sphere, Dylan Marron impeccably captures the subtle, incomparable heart of human connection that is a good conversation. And just like one, Conversations with People Who Hate Me will leave you feeling warm, hopeful, and less alone." -- Aparna Nancherla, comedian and actress“[An] enlightening debut . . . In a time rife with divisiveness, this opens up an intriguing dialogue about finding ways to connect.” * Publisher's Weekly *“Marron persuasively argues that the internet is a major source of polarization and that talking personally, and listening fully—without trying to score points or to convince someone to change their mind—goes a long way toward breaking down barriers. The book will delight his fans and draw new listeners to the podcast.” * Kirkus *"Conversations with People Who Hate Me is a fascinating meditation on human connection and on finding common ground with people you never thought possible. It’s about shared humanity, but also the sheer mental stamina it takes to have challenging conversations with those with whom you vehemently disagree. It’s about finding that line between when doing so is important and when it’s fruitless. It’s about extending compassion to others while still holding them accountable." -- Molly Sprayregen * Associated Press *
