***Now an International Bestseller!***A Publisher's Weekly Pick of 2024!'Distinctively Japanese musings on meaning and connection.'ObserverI'm starting a service... available for any situation in which all you want is a person to be there. Maybe there's a restaurant you want to go to, but you feel awkward going on your own.Maybe a game you want to play, but you're one person short.Or perhaps you'd like someone to keep a space in the park for your cherry blossom viewing party...Shoji Morimoto was constantly being told by his boss, 'It makes no difference whether youre here or not,' and that his presence contributed nothing to the company. Morimoto began to wonder whether a person who 'does nothing' could still have actual value and a place in the world. Perhaps he could turn 'doing nothing' into a service? With one tweet, Rental Person was born.Rental Person provides a fascinating service to the lonely and socially anxious. This book details thousands of his truelife adventures: Accompanying a divorcee to her favorite restaurant Waving goodbye to a client from the train platform Sitting in the courtroom during a clients trial Supporting a client during a difficult surgery Rental Person is dependable, nonjudgmental and committed to remaining a stranger, and the curious encounters he shares are revelatory about both Japanese society and human psychology.In Rental Person Who Does Nothing, Morimoto chronicles his extraordinary experiences in his unique line of work and reflects on how we consider relationships, jobs and family in our search for meaningful connection and purpose in life.
