▼ Back｜▲ Next Real Power Comes from Giving You'll find a way when you let go of everything. A world-renowned doctor talks about a lifestyle and way of thinking that will tap into your life's potential. 『Real Power Comes from Giving』 190 pages August 2012 1,600 yen (w/o tax) Contents: The author is a researcher who developed a drug for treatment of sickle cell anemia, a condition that was thought to be incurable. He is an oncology specialist at Harbor UCLA Medical Center, which has the world's highest medical standards. As a doctor who is responsible for people's lives, the author always believed that he must possess a strong, unwavering will. But he discovered at some point that he wouldn't always be able to acquire that willpower on his own. We're drawn to power, and sometimes it's the wrong kind of power. As in last year's nuclear accident in Japan, you will realize when you look at history that because we sometimes put our faith in the wrong kind of power, we end up sacrificing a lot. Why is it so easy for power to influence us? What do we need to do in order to acquire the real power that can lead us to happiness? The author has had the opportunity to witness the varied aspects of the life of a long-serving doctor and researcher, and he relates something that he has come to realize: true power is closely related to the act of giving. How do you feel about that? Take in the author's heartfelt message on real power as he reveals the workings of life. From the table of contents: Introduction: Your life is destined for happiness Chapter 1: You get more when you give Chapter 2: Life has two faces Chapter 3: Life doesn't overreach itself Chapter 4: Your life's real purpose Closing Chapter: Where we're headed A word from the editor: At 190 cm, Dr. Yutaka Niihara is a tall man. His heart is just as big. Writing this book with Dr. Niihara as he traveled to America, Africa, and other places around the world was an exhilarating experience for me. Because of the time differences, sometimes we exchanged messages or had international phone conversations in the middle of the night. In the early hours of the morning after a long phone call, the doctor would call me again a few minutes later with such thoughtful words as, "I forgot to wish you a good night. Sleep well." He struck me as a person who actually puts the act of giving into practice. About the author:Yutaka Niihara Yutaka Niihara was born in Tokyo in 1959.
