Dispirited and unemployed, it occurred to him that if he was so good at doing nothing, perhaps he could turn it into a business. And with one tweet, he began his business of renting himself out to do nothing. Morimoto, aka Rental Person, provides a fascinating service to the lonely and socially anxious. Sitting with a client undergoing surgery, accompanying a newly-divorced client to her favorite restaurant, visiting the site of a client's suicide attempt are just a few of his thousands of true life adventures. He is dependable, non-judgmental 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"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 305.8956 Morimoto Mo Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.8956 Morimoto Mo Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 305.8956 Morimoto Mo Checked out 05/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.8956 Morimoto Mo Shelving Cart   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Morimoto Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Morimoto Mo Checked out 05/02/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.8956 Morimoto Mo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
