A book about getting rich that only the highest income taxpayer in Japan could have written.
“As far as I know, no other book goes into this much depth about money.” This new book by today’s most prominent businessman is his first written solely about money. Rather than simply explaining how to make more money, Hitori Saito’s book discusses how the nature and essence of money relate to our mental attitudes and ways of life. Calling this book “the philosophy of money” would actually be fitting, but don’t let that intimidate you; Mr. Saito explains difficult concepts in the simplest of terms.

In December of 2015, I spent half a day driving around the city with Hitori Saito. When we began driving around to visit a number of his favorite shrines, the first words out of his mouth were, “I want to write a book about money.” He clearly gave his reasons, one of them being that the more financially stable people there are, the better off the world will be. It’s interesting to point out that a prominent businessman such as Hitori Saito hadn’t written a book about money until now. It took him only three months to send me a manuscript, which was filled with philosophical insights into the concept of money, explained in simple terms. What resulted was a book that, while easy to understand, is profound in its meaning and significance.
