Absorb 10,000 characters in the 15 minutes it takes to fold laundry!? | New book: 'The Ear Input Revolution: Getting Smarter Without Reading Text'

'I want to read, but I don't have the time.'
I have sighed that same sigh hundreds of times myself.
However, just by switching my 25-minute commute and 15 minutes of housework to audio learning, I became able to absorb the essence of books at a pace of
four books per month.
The new book I'm introducing today, 'The Ear Input Revolution' (releasing 5/29), is a volume that summarizes that 'while-doing' learning method into a format

anyone can replicate.(It is an e-book.)Why not try out this way of getting smarter through your ears?

■ Why the 'ear' now? Three backgrounds

1. The spread of smartphones and wireless earphones
   As of 2024, the leading audiobook service, audiobook.jp, has over 3 million members. That is about 36 times more than 10 years ago, showing explosive growth.

2. The increase in 'gap-time listening'
   According to an I-Bridge survey, 42% of people want to try using audiobooks, and the need to utilize 'ear-free time' is rising rapidly.

3. 'Screen fatigue' for eyes and brains
   Work and social media are full of screens. Audio, which allows you to learn while resting your eyes, is becoming established as a 'third way of reading.'

■ The core of this book is the '3-minute review method'

Just listening tends to let information go in one ear and out the other.
This book proposes a simple procedure: 'Listen -> Take notes -> Review for 3 minutes.'

• Step 1: Listening while doing ... Play at 1.5x to 2x speed during commutes, housework, or walks.

• Step 2: Take notes immediately ... Type only the key points into your smartphone's notepad.

• Step 3: 3-minute review ... Calmly say out loud, 'This part really hit home today.'

Please experience the surprise of how 'passive listening' turns into 'actionable ideas' with just this.

Kindle Unlimited members can read it for free.

Since I wrote this, and I'm someone who 'isn't good at reading,' I made sure to keep it short and packed with information so it would be easy to read.
It's easy to read, so please pick up a copy.

Last night, I participated in a member networking event at
Hiroomi Sueyoshi and the 'Courage to Express' Launch Community
.

In one of the breakout rooms, I happened to share thoughts with someone,

and I was surprised when
Daisy
mentioned the words 'Kindle publishing'!

Actually, even though I had gone to the trouble of publishing my second book, I had been hesitant and hadn't told anyone or announced it anywhere...

The fact that I was able to announce it in an article today is thanks to her.
Thank you so much!

And, as expected, it's hard to get moving when you're 'alone.'
I am once again savoring the importance of human connection, realizing how powerful 'peers' can be.
