Reading this book such a combination from self-improvement book, children's psychology book, history of napoleon, newton, and buddha book, in a one shot. Interesting and giving other perspectives about life. But some parts are boring because of too much info dump and like i taught by copper's uncle about so many life lessons.

This book about friendship and life seeking of Cooper aka Jun'ichi Honda with his friends: Mizutani, Kitami, and Urugawa. My fav parts in this book: 1) when Cooper played role as radio announcer; and 2) when Cooper being a dramatic fifteen year old boy who being ignored by his friends because he acted like bystander when his friend got trouble.

My first book that i've read in 2025 <3
