https://www.horindo.co.jp/t20230821/
A robust book that the author describes as “all about my editorial theory.” This book has been a bestseller in various genres, including Toru Mishiro’s “The Enthusiasm of Only One Person,” Takafumi Horie “Hyperdynamics,” Yoichi Ochiai “Japan Revitalization Strategy,” Yuji Maeda “The Magic of Memos,” and Garthy “If I Die, I’ll Be With You.” This is a long-awaited book in which the editor Kosuke Minowa talks about how to meet, confront, and work with people who will change your life.
“Monster people” are people who are madly focused on their goals and strive to achieve results. By meeting and confronting these people, your work and life will change dramatically.
In this book, the author, Kosuke Minowa, examines how to deal with these “human monsters” from various angles, based on his own experiences. Mr. Minowa, who has said himself, “My encounter with monster humans changed my life,” and who has sublimated the thoughts, feelings, and lives of monster humans, who have many quirks and quirks, into his works, said, “All about my editorial theory. ” This is a solid book.
Although “monster humans” are extreme beings that condense the human side of humans, the “true essence” of the human relationships that arise there are not much different from those of ordinary people. Readers are sure to be shown a new perspective through the
“exciting” examples that appear with each turn of the page and the essential questions posed by the author.
