Announcing the results of the "#AutumnReading2022" book review contest!
The submission period for the "#AutumnReading2022" book review contest, for which we received many entries, has ended.
We are finally ready to announce the results.
To everyone who sent in their thoughts, thank you so much!
The entire editorial team was moved as we read them.
This time, we invited reviews for two "assigned books":
"The Habit of Resetting" by Hiroyuki Kobayashi
"Schumpeter: The Greatest Economist Who Predicted Beyond Capitalism" by Takashi Nawa
We were deeply impressed by how every review thoroughly grasped the deep intentions behind the works.
As a result of the selection process, we have decided on two winners for the Excellence Award.
What was reset by "The Habit of Resetting" was the "resistance to change" | Saya Yumachi | note
[From the editor in charge]
I am very grateful for the many wonderful reviews we received. Everyone's was excellent, and I struggled until the very end.
Among them, the following passage by Saya Yumachi was very educational for me as the editor.
"Something like a strong sense of resistance in the deeper parts. It is easier to stay in the flow, even if it is a bad one, and there is a stubborn feeling of not wanting to change. I felt that this was strangely being reset."
Although this is a book about behavioral techniques, thank you for thoroughly reading the author's deep intentions. There is nothing that would make me happier than if you, Saya-san, could ride a new, positive flow through this book.
"Schumpeter" Book Review #AutumnReading2022 | Mrs.chocolate | note
[From the editor in charge]
Thank you for the many reviews of "Schumpeter." Everyone managed to read through that thick book and even make it their own, which was very educational for me.
Among them, Mrs.chocolate wrote that after finishing it, she thought, "Work should be fun, right?" Actually, I felt the same way while editing it.
Schumpeter's theories are very interesting, but for some reason, the book has a power that makes you think, "I can do a great job!"
Also, I deeply empathized with your review about thinking with your own head rather than leaving it to others. Thank you for such a wonderful book review.
The book review contest has ended, but since so many wonderful reviews were posted, we also recommend searching for "#TheHabitOfResetting" and "#Schumpeter" to read them!
Furthermore, you can also read the assigned books here.
