Hi everyone, Lately, I keep seeing “Japanese calm lifestyle” videos on YouTube. Since I don’t use any social media other than Reddit, I’m not sure if it’s a trend or not. For some time now, I’ve been feeling anxious for reasons I don’t really understand, and even when I’m not in a hurry, I feel like I am. I’m looking for films, series, or book recommendations to help me relax and get into a state of flow. Educational videos would also be great. I’d appreciate it if the recommendations were related to Japanese culture and mentality.

The “Japanese lifestyle” is anything but calm, the education system is one of the hardest in the world, and students are always worrying about exams, and the holidays are short, then after graduation they have to get a job, and the job culture is Japan is very draining, you’d basically have time for nothing else, don’t be fooled by videos romanticizing japan, it’s a very beautiful country, but absolute hell to be in, if you’re alwaysstressed maybe there’s something in your problem causing that and you need to deal with it
