Description

This is the latest installment from Hitori Saito. The bestselling author of The Power of Subtle Differences and Insight, he holds the record for being in the top 10 highest taxpayers in Japan for 12 years since 1993.
This time Mr. Saito returns to the basics and appears to have surpassed his legendary maiden work An Eccentric’s Take on the Laws of Success. He says that in this latest book he has written everything that he wants to say.
“In this book, I have written my thoughts on how life works. Of course, there are all sorts of organizations and they each have their own workings. However, if you know what’s written in this book, I believe you will be able to manage things well most of the time. It’s about trying things out and also getting used to things. Anyone can be successful if they keep at something without losing interest. Humans are creatures of habit.” (Excerpt from the book)

From the editor

It’s not often that I come across men that other men admire. My opinion changed when I got the chance to work with Mr. Hitori Saito. He is the kind of man that men find admirable. His way of thinking, his way of life, how he speaks–everything about him is exceptional. I have so much to learn from him! In this edition on “how the world works,” the reader can freely experience the allure of the knowledgeable Mr. Saito as he explains the various mechanisms of the world we live in. It is my hope that this book will be useful to you and also shed the light that you need in your life.
