猫を処方いたします📗石田祥🐈🩺

猫がいれば医者いらず！？

日常生活にストレスを感じ、心の病を抱える患者が行き着く不思議な病院「中京こころの病院」。診察後、必ず医者は患者に「猫を処方いたします。」と伝え、猫と患者の療養共同生活が始まります。

最初は、猫のお世話の仕方がわからず苦戦していた患者たちも、数日後には猫の素晴らしさに気づき、絆を深めていき、生活が良い方向に変わっていくことに気づきます。例えば、無職だった男性が猫がきっかけで仕事がもらえたり、会話のなかった家族だったけど、猫がきっかけで笑い合える家族に変わったり、働き詰めだった女性が猫に会いたいため仕事を早く切り上げたり…

この本は、問題を一人で抱え込まず、誰かあるいは猫や動物に頼ることの大切さを教えてくれるような本でした。そこで生まれた絆が問題を解決してくれり、新しい道を切り開くこともあるんだなと思いました。

英語版２０２４年９月に出版予定です。📚猫を処方いたします２・３も読もうと思っています♪

🐈🩺We’ll Prescribe You a cat 📗 Shou Ishida 🇯🇵

Delight to read these five, short but unique, memorable cat stories to represent ‘A cat a day keeps the doctor away!’

Patients who stressed out their every day life problems end up seeing a doctor at the mysterious clinic called ‘Kokoro clinic for the Soul’, where the doctor says, “I’ll prescribe you a cat”. They were shocked that their medicines are cats! In the beginning, they struggled to have a cat at home and didn’t know how to live with cats. However, as time goes by, they started bonding well and realised they enjoyed their lives thanks to cats, e.g. the cat found a job for a patient who was unemployed, a cat gave a father and his daughter opportunities to talk and laugh together and the lady who worked so long started going home early because she wanted to see her cats at home… The cats can guide humans to their better lives!!

This book will tell you the importance of depending on someone or something when you have problems! The bond can sometimes give us solutions and guide us to a better path.

The Japanese bestseller is translated into 25 languages and the English edition will be published this September! Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to write its book review! Absolutely love it!
