"I'm the only one who's busy at work, and no one even bothers to help!" "I feel like I'm always being pushed around by people's emotions. I can't take it…" "I want to get married and have children, but I can't think about the future right now." Have you been burdened by these worries? In this book, using data she collected from discussions with over 10,000 career women, the author talks about how to become a woman who is valued in the workplace. However, this book is not a training course on how to become popular at work so that you can find love or a marriage partner there. It's a compilation of hints on how to become the kind of woman who commands the esteem of others--hints such as how to always keep your spark, and how to gather people around you and get their support. You will also have success in your work. Take the first step to a happy job and a happy lifestyle while being your lovable self!

She always responds promptly and politely to e-mails, and during the networking events we attended together, she would smile and be the first to say hello to many people. I don't know how many times I was deeply impressed by Ms. Kanazawa's practical application of the methods described in this book. I would like every woman who wants to be happy at work and in her private life to read this book. About the author:Etsuko Kanazawa Etsuko Kanazawa is from Tokyo. When she was a university student, she set up and ran an organization that mobilized events for female university students. In 1991, she started working at Recruit (now Recruit Holdings). She went into sales and was named Most Valuable Employee during her first year there. In 1994, she took part in planning the Career Design Center as one of the founding members, becoming the first person at the company to reach advertising sales of 100 million yen. She was the deputy director-general of the advertising sales division as well as the head of the public relations office. Unable to establish a distance between her private life and work life, she deteriorated emotionally and physically. As a result of this experience, she began to seek answers to the question, "What does it mean to be happy at your job?" In 2001, she established Working Woman Type (now Woman Type), Japan's first magazine for career women in all fields, and then became the chief editor. She interviewed over 5,000 women during her time as chief editor, and she systemized the process of finding a happy career into four steps. She went independent in 2005 and started the company For Woman (now Happy Career). She is currently running Oshigoto Blog (a blog for career women) and Happy Career (a community site with 200,000 monthly page views). Through seminars where she uses her original aptitude-testing tool "i-color", she advises over 300 women every year on how to find a job that is both emotionally and financially satisfying. She has also written Creating a Happy Career (Diamond Publishing). Ms. Kanazawa had her first child at 40, and on her days off, she enjoys samba dancing.
