I think constricting anus 100 times and denting navel 100 times in succession everyday is effective to good-bye depression and take back youth. You can do so at a boring meeting or in a subway. I have known 70-year-old man who has practiced it for 20 years. As a result, he has good complexion and has grown 20 years younger. His eyes sparkle. He is full of vigor, happiness and joy. He has neither complained nor born a grudge under any circumstance. Furthermore, he can make #### three times in succession without drawing out.In addition, he also can have burned a strong beautiful fire within his abdomen. It can burn out the dirty stickiness of his body, release his immaterial fiber or third attention which has been confined to his stickiness. Then, he can shoot out his immaterial fiber or third attention to an object, concentrate on it and attain happy lucky feeling through the success of concentration.If you don't know concentration which gives you peculiar pleasure, your life looks like a hell.

This Book Will Change Your Life

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book will change your life, just like reading this review has already changed your life, and just like the decision you made last Tuesday to go to Mickey D's instead of Burger King changed your life. It's only a matter of degree. I think that this book will change your life slightly more than the other options, but that's just to point out that our lives change pretty frequently. Just sayin'.

Anyhow, this book is hilarious. I have never read something as absolutely bonkers as this, and there were many nights where I was laughing out loud, sometimes to the point of tears. Some of it will stick with you -- the demon the size of France, "happy-lucky feeling", "at your peril", and rotating the vortexes of your body, just to name a few. I wonder what the author’s family life is like. Can you imagine the dinner-table conversations? "Okasa-sama, why is odusa-sama behaving that way?" "Never mind him, dear. He's just judge-controlling the garden hose to obtain happy-lucky feeling."

I gave it only four stars because the book does repeat passages a bit, especially towards the end. I wonder if Mr. Nishigaki ran out of content, or what? The crazy thing is that there is some common sense buried in here past all of the weirdo visions and delusions. The problem is that the author just has no ability to emphasize or filter his thoughts. He just adds everything together and interprets what he reads however he wants to. His take on repentance is incredibly off, for instance.

Like others have said, don't buy this book to learn anything about health. Buy it to laugh. If you do that, and you enjoy stuff that is far beyond Monty Python-style humor, just out-and-out weirdness (that is probably drug-induced as far as I can tell), this book is for you.

Now, I can't say that the author's advice actually works, but it does help with depression. Read a random page and start laughing. As they say, laughter is the best medicine.

Shoot Out Your Super High Speed Third Attention to a Star!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2003

Verified Purchase

Shoot out your super high speed third attention to a star, erase stickiness and other wonders are yours if you simply practice the tenants in this book by Hiroyuki Nishigaki, who also wrote the stirring sequel to this book, "Rejuvenation and Unveiled Hidden Phenix: Carlos Castaneda Shamanism Plus Alpha After His Death," which is even less coherent, if you can believe it.
Having been a student of bad grammar and compositional ineptitude since I first found the works of Pedro Carolino, I was compelled to read this book, and I was not disappointed. In this book you will find an appalling lack of respect for the English language, a zero coherence quotient and delicately turned phrases that would be impossible for a lesser astral being than Mr. Nishigaki. If you delight in all such inept manifestations you will love this book.
That isn't the only reason to be fond of the book, though. The entire premise of the book is absolutely ridiculous. Basically his premise boils down to this: the key to health, happiness, and a long life is to have six bowel movements a day, to dent your navel 100 times a day, and to constrict your anus 100 times a day, or in the words of Mr. Nishigaki: " Denting navel and constricting anus 100 times everyday is the most effective to make the fire burn from within." (It works for me!)
If you enjoy the truly outlandish, this is an excellent place to start.

Pure useful and convenient!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is pure useful and convenient. Mr. Nishigaki his talent, sent directly from the hand of Spirit. I have suffered from depression throughout many years ago, "anal constrict" really do help. How hard is hilarious book which just read it aloud. This book is quality, if necessary, we will write anything long term. Nevertheless, if you are trying to learn English are reading this, this study may be not suitable, because translations at some points didn't sounded native speakers. If you have some guests, they probably wonder your character as you need this book because they do not refer to read it, so this book should not be kept in the display area of your house.

(If you enjoyed the text of this review and are hungry for more, featuring discussion of your "immaterial fiber" and "big black excrement", buy this book! You won't be disappointed.)

A fine sampling of Engrish

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

The first half of this book is purely usenet cut and pastes. To be honest, I picked this book up 3 years ago and I had no expectations. When I read the first chapter, I was so blown away, my anus instinctively constricted. In reality this book is truly about one man's quest to discover the secrets of the anus and navel. A truly funny reading if you can stomach intentionally bad grammar and ethereal logic.

This book cures depression!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Cures your depression, just not in the way the author intended. Hilariously mistranslated, but the original material was ridiculous to begin with. Those two things combined results in every page being completely hilarious.
