A few days ago I was in Taiwan to visit friends and family. Right before I board the returning flight back to the U.S., I was browsing through the booksto re in attempt to find a book to kill my boredom on the flight. One book stood out in particular: The Philosophy of One Piece. A book about one of the greatest anime/manga in the history? Sounds like a book full of feels and great entertainment. Without a second thought, I purchased the book and immediately buried myself into the pages filled with Chinese characters (Yes, as the picture implied, I can read Chinese fluently).

Not going to lie, this book is nothing short of inspiring and motivational. To support his point, the author took real life examples as well as instances in the anime/manga to support his thesis. Furthermore, he included quotes philosophy thought experiments to further reinforce his claims. Ultimately, making this a rather powerful and insightful literature that truly makes one think about his or her life.

And because of that, I thought I would share my thoughts and/or materials from this book as I progress through it. Hope you guys find this as helpful and insightful as I did ^_^
