Japan Economic Miracle

Summary

Japan Economic Miracle explores Japan's remarkable transformation from a war-torn nation into an economic superpower, followed by its subsequent period of stagnation. The book analyzes the key elements that drove Japan's post-World War II growth, including strategic industrial policy and the unique keiretsu corporate structure that evolved from the dismantling of the pre-war zaibatsu system. It further examines how Japan's focus on manufacturing excellence propelled it to global prominence, while also detailing the factors that led to the asset bubble of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

 
The book offers a comprehensive look at Japan's economic history, dividing the narrative into four key parts: post-war reconstruction, the rise of manufacturing, the asset bubble, and the subsequent economic stagnation. It argues that Japan's economic miracle was not solely due to market forces, but a carefully orchestrated combination of government planning and cultural factors. By integrating historical analysis with economic theory, Japan Economic Miracle provides a nuanced understanding of Japan's journey, offering valuable insights for understanding global economic trends and the potential pitfalls of rapid growth.

Everyday Dharma - 8 Essential...

Suneel Gupta

“Suneel Gupta shares how to chisel away the everyday layers that prevent us from clarity and joy. Written with compassion and wit, you will find yourself within its pages, and by the book’s end, it’s very possible that you will have uncovered just what most lights the fire within you.” —Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author of Lovingkindness and Real Life
Find your Dharma—your inner calling—and learn to integrate ambition, work, and wellbeing to create a balanced, joyous life with this practical, life-changing guide from the beloved speaker, bestselling author, and visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School.
We’ve been conditioned, from an early age, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted, we become burned out and cynical, questioning the purpose of it all.
An expert on happiness and work, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case.
In Everyday Dharma, Suneel helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller, he weaves personal stories, history, science, Eastern philosophy, and Western modalities in this engaging, enlightening, and prescriptive book. He begins by helping us identify our dharma, the essence of who we are. When you’re in your Dharma, you feel confident, creative, and caring, with a sense of purpose, and that shines through your life and work.
Everyday Dharma provides an accessible three-step approach to discovering, understanding, and living your “sacred calling.” At its center are self-assessments to help you identify your passions and powerful rituals for building new habits—ancient practices supported by science and found in diverse cultural sources, including Toni Morrison’s novels, Jimi Hendrix’s lyrics, and Frida Kahlo’s paintings, and used by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi.
Finding your dharma empowers you to let go of anxiety, follow your wildest ambitions, produce your life’s work, and experience true joy.

Ally Archer knows what it feels like to have incurable wanderlust (also known as “the travel bug”). After leaving her 9-5 job, she was ready to do anything to make her travel dreams a reality. She found a way to hack the system by asking herself: “Instead of saving up to travel for two weeks per year, how can I find a way to make money while I travel throughout the year?” This led her to start a simple online freelance business that grew significantly over time.

Archer breaks down these essential business steps in Infinite Entrepreneur, using stories from her personal travels to drive home the point that yes, you too can run a successful business from anywhere in the world.
