Having escaped from the suffocating grip of Japanese culture to pursue his dreams of being a writer, author and Japanese ex-pat Shogo Onoe continues his story in this thought-provoking autobiographical novel, recounting the rich culture and amazing people that he befriended beyond the confines of his native homeland.
Featuring no shortage of colorful anecdotes, poignant personal reflections, and scathing critiques of what he views as a dehumanizing and controlling Japanese culture, this literary fiction adventure challenges readers to break out of their self-limiting beliefs and stop making sacrifices that leave them feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.
Interspersed with the story of Shogo’s long-time Japanese friend – who left Japan to live in Guatemala after spending just 4 days in Mexico – this book shatters worldviews and encourages us to see the countless different possibilities that lie beyond our ordinarily narrow confines.
As a beautiful read for anybody who is struggling to chase a dream, or for anyone afraid to step out of the crowd and dare to live fearlessly, Dance to Dreams is a deeply moving book that offers readers of all backgrounds a refreshing glimpse of the life-changing possibilities that are within our reach.
