Finance is a true lie.

With humorous and philosophical examples, cases and stories, the author presents his multinational financial experience for more than ten years. The book tells the basic knowledge of finance, financial practice, financial strategy, financial wisdom, flexibility of financial data, and the essence of financial thought behind flexibility.

This is a financial introductory book that is not a better story than a story. The chapters in the book are interrelated, but they are self-contained and relatively independent. You can pick it up from any chapter or put it down.

Financial statements are formed by selecting a series of reasonable assumptions and making appropriate adjustments to financial data within the scope permitted by the accounting standards for business enterprises and according to the enterprise's own situation. Strictly speaking, finance is "accounting", which has certain flexibility and is a true lie.

Eiko Yamashita refines the philosophy of "line breaking, line breaking and offline" in yoga into "line breaking" and applies it to daily life, interpersonal relationship, thinking and other aspects.

The characteristic of this book is that the protagonist of parting is not the object, but himself, and the timeline is always now. The key to choosing an item is not whether it can be used or not, but whether I want to use it or not, which must be engraved in my mind.
