Description

Everyone knows that the highest mountain in Japan is Mt. Fuji, but hardly anyone knows the name of the second highest mountain, although there’s only a slight difference between their heights. Everybody remembers gold medalists who break world records, but who remembers the silver medalists who come in only a few seconds later?

Although the differences in height and speed are very slight, they have a surprisingly significant impact on the outcome. It’s the same with life. Just a little effort can bring about big changes in your life. In other words, all slight differences lead to big differences.

You’ll definitely see that when you read this book.

From the editor

Hitori Saito refers to himself as a strange person, but what he talks about in this book is not at all strange. In fact, it makes more and more sense as you read it, and the contents are so convincing that the reader will not have the slightest doubts.
I’m sure I’m not the only person who has read this book and thought, “Okay! I’m going to try this! I’ll hang in there a little longer!” I highly recommend this book to people who are working hard right now and also to people who are losing their zeal to work hard.
