How do you live?

I have found significant numbers of Japanese authors' books in several independent bookshops in London and some other cities in Britain. Only Haruki Murakami's books had been seen, but not the other Japanese authors' before the COVID-19 pandemic. Because I don't have knowledge of contemporary Japanese novels and authors, I could recognise classics novels such as The Devil's Flute Murders of Seishi Yokomizo and The Setting Sun of Osamu Dazai. I was surprised when I found 'How Do You Live?' of Genzaburo Yoshino. It was a philosophical fiction for children and it hadn't been known until recent. I wasn't impressed when I read it after I became an adult. I just wondered why this book became such popular in modern times. It was a few days ago that I was aware of a film which was influenced by the book had been screened lately.
I have been thinking why I have to learn English. I have practical reasons of it. However, I realised that the reasons haven't drove me to learn English harder. I have come to the conclusion that the motives should be linked with my lifestyle or way of living. I should identify genuine motives to learn English and therefore how I live.
