- Follow @AmeriesBookClub on IG, and watch my chat with Shoji Morimoto on UA-cam at the end of the month.
During an age in which human connection is at most a button click away, why does it seem we’re more lonely and socially anxious than ever? In his intriguing memoir, Shoji Morimoto shares with us his journey of being a Rental Person Who Does Nothing, during which he experiences thousands of connections with strangers who desire company, accountability, a hand wave, or simply the knowledge that someone is thinking of them at an appointed time. Fascinating and poignant, Shoji’s story reveals the surprising ties between strangers, human connection, and freedom.

Amerie mashaallah congratulations😭💖💖💖 welcome to Islam!!!
Amerie Is A Legend. 💪🏽😎
I'm so happy that you found a new purpose. You loss nothing. You look better, natural, and can speak well. And, the music that you created will be remembered forever. Bless you!
I love this woman!!!...I had no idea she had a channnel...glad I found it 👍🏼
Me too.
Before I clicked on this video I said "That sounds like a Japanese title" and I was right.
Damn after all this time she still fine 🙏🙌💪♠️✔️🪖🫡
God has blessed her with ISLAM. Submission to the will of God.
AlhamdulilAllah
Welcome to the Umma sister. ❤🎉
❤pretty thank you for last night performance in Columbus
I remember this guy was on news in Japan. It was eye opening how many people were kinda lonely in Tokyo.
Sounds like an interesting read for sure. Thank you for featuring this book!
I just had about 6 tabs open last night - all about Amerie - and I wake up this morning to see this upload!
Nice 🎉❤
Clearly, the universe is enabling my obsession 😂
She look like she is in early 20s just like the same age as my brother mashaAllah beauty with brain❤
Black don't Crack,
*Beautiful 4 ever* 🥇😎👍
Peace, hi amerie, happy you read books peace peace peace!
This takes me back to my time in Tokyo- the concept/premise of the book feels so uniquely Japanese! Wow. Looking forward to this read. Thanks for spotlighting this as a book club read!
Who was confused seeing this *Power House in music* showing up in your subs feed
elegantly talking about books ? 😂😂
*Take control of me* 😎
Yes mam 🫡🫡
I love the showcasing of Asian authors. So glad to find this channel!
Hi A! Quite intriguing. Looking forward to your chat with Shoji. ❤
I’ve noticed people feel very comfortable with me as well. I’ve had strangers tell me some very deep and painful things. I appreciate that they trusted me but I was not interested in sharing much depth about myself. I care about people but I have strong beliefs relating to privacy. I really want to read this it sounds interesting and also random. Thanks for this share. 💙
That's Japanese media for you. Lots of it is random.
I have never clicked so fast on a video and yes I have been wanting to read this book for a while what a coincidence.
This was a fascinating critique. I watch each month and this is one of the best. A book that speaks to the social gaps that exist today. A lot of people feel lonely even with plenty of company. Or have more money to spend than meaningful relationships. Easy to see why it’s a bestseller. Thanks! 🎖️✅
Allah ybarek ❤ congratulations 🎉
Brains AND beauty. God bless you for not selling your soul.
AlhamdulilAllah
And I love your book club and your music 🎶 videos 🎶🎶🥰🥰😍🥰💜💜🩵🩵💙💙💚💚🖤♥️♥️💚💚💚🩵🩵🧡🧡🧡
Welcome sister… Allah is the greatest. May Allah grant you succes in this life and the Hereafter 💚💚💚

Me encanta tu canción que sale en el GTA5 ❤
Sounds like another great read!!
I'm glad I found this today because this gives me time to catch up; I'm so behind the times.
Here from a mention of the book club in another video. Locking forward to going through the reviews and making a selection.🎉
You are my inspiration. Just so u know that.. ❤
Hey, Amerie, how you been holding up gorgeous? 💖💗💞😍😘
Ha! I stumbled across this book in my library and it was a fascinating read. The whole question of how we value people, time, and work. It was a bit surprising what people ask Shoji to do-nothing with them, but in thinking about it I could sometimes use a do-nothing person to accompany me someplace new or maybe to a movie. Quick read, too.
We still love you and your voice. It's one of a kind.. keep going, beautiful queen! I would love you to do a book report on the books that's sexuizing our kids?!
Love this!!
Sounds interesting. Definitely will purchase and read.
🙌🥰
Hey amerie who wrote shoji morimot sounds pretty good ☔
❤
I just finished the book yesterday April 10th and it was an experience. Spoilers
I find it weird how he was comfortable listening to a man confess to murder but listening to people talking about their goals and ambitions pissed him off enough to walk out. He's in this weird middle ground where he doesn't seem to have a personality, but then things like that tick him off.
So, times have changed and we do not rely on major record labels to push music anymore.
With that being said,
When are you coming back to the music game to bless us with your beautiful voice again?
being a rental person sounds interesting but possibly draining
Yes. Sounds like most relationships.
Something went wrong❤ yall
Just here to see my crush 😅
Where do i sign up for this job, seems interesting 🤔🤔🤔😃😃😃
Please be a singer again i want to hear ur voicr again

AMERIE GET BACK TO DOING MUSIC
If you’re going to have a book club queen, you should at least reply to some of the people supporting you in the comments. Otherwise, what’s the point?
True, otherwise it’s just book recommendations or suggestions. A book club suggests that there’s a back and forth discussion.
😎 I mean, she wanted to be a *Raging Music Artist Fire in Heaven Queen* 🫡,
and personally, *I see her as Beyonce's ONLY credible rival* ,
*But the wind blows here and the wind blows there* ,
so Book club like Oprah it is, not her 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice,
so I understand the Lack of Enthusiasm. *Bro she's pissed* 😂😂
Reply to what? You have read the book first then at the end of the month talk about it.
@@dr.kawasaki7380😂😂 I get your point and agree; I enjoyed this channel until your comment. She isn't really passionate about books or having a book club, it's just another entrepreneurial venture for her. However folks like myself and other people here really love to read.
