An online course for "VISION DRIVEN: A Thinking Method Connecting Intuition and Logic" is now available!
It has been one year since "VISION DRIVEN: A Thinking Method Connecting Intuition and Logic" was published. I am truly happy that it has reached 95,000 copies and has been read by so many people.
In fact, I have received a great deal of feedback from people who have read this book.
・"By looking at the pictures of the four worlds, I could see the world I am living in." (Many)
・"I realized I don't have any 'my mode' time!" (Many)
・"I bought a Moleskine notebook." (A significant percentage of readers have done this)
・"I've been trying journaling. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, emotional journaling, where I pour out my feelings, has saved me." (Especially those living alone)
・"I tried the 'passion collage' and realized that even people at large corporations are actually creative." (Design consultant)
・"Technology companies need to properly demonstrate their values while designing their visions from now on. It's easier to discuss that when it's visualized." (Employee at a US-based tech company)
・"It's really close to the startup worldview. I'm happy you put this into words." (Startup executive)
・Please design our long-term vision. (Large corporation/startup executive)
And so on.
Many people think this book is just a collection of various exercises for designing a vision, but
actually, it is based on
a five-part vision art production workshop
that I conducted at the Kyoto University of Art and Design (at the time),which was about turning one's own vision into an art piece.
Vision Atelier Workshop—when I hold workshops under this name
in various places,
many people say that they were able to see their own vision more clearly beyond just individual exercises, or that they discovered what they want to create in their lives.
Some have changed careers, started new businesses, or become entrepreneurs. The content has that much impact, but I felt that the book alone
the experience and effect of designing a vision
could not be fully conveyed.
Therefore, I decided to turn the content of this workshop series into an online course on Udemy.
Creating Impact from Delusions: The Vision Atelier Course
The course is structured as follows.
【Three Selling Points of This Course!】
① Understand the necessary theories and exercises tailored to challenges regarding vision
Having conducted numerous workshops so far,
I felt that there are
five challengesone faces when designing a vision.
Don't you also feel these kinds of challenges?
This course is structured to address these challenges.
Therefore, you don't have to take the lectures from the beginning;
it is also possible to start with the lectures that address the specific challenges you are facing.
For example,
Challenge 3: The vision is vague and doesn't become concrete
If you are facing this challenge,
you need to train your perception.
The theories and exercises necessary for that purpose are
introduced in Part 3: The Power of Perception of this course.
In this way, the first selling point of this course is that
you can identify the necessary theories and exercises
according to the challenges you are facing.
② Includes videos for 16 exercises. You can get an idea of how to approach them.
Now, when you heard the word "exercise,"
did you think it sounded a bit difficult?
Please rest assured.
In this course, we introduce the exercises along with videos.
The videos show the entire process
from starting the exercise to finishing it,
using fast-forward.
The lectures explain the key points and methods, and because there are videos of the actual work being done,
it is easy to visualize how to approach the exercises,which is the second selling point of this course.
This course includes 16 exercises tailored to the stages of the challenge, and if you complete them all in sequence, you will be able to create a vision art piece. While it might be hard to visualize and practice using just a book, this should significantly lower that hurdle.
③ Includes real-life examples from a student's perspective and Q&A
In this course, representing the students,
our assistant, Yu Aoki,
took the lectures and worked through the exercises.
Along with real examples,
we also introduce
how the exercises were approached,
and what parts were difficult.
In particular, we provide advice in the Q&A section
for points that were difficult or confusing.
The third selling point of this course is that it includes
real-life examples from a student's perspective who tried it at home alone for the first time, along with Q&A.
That concludes the three selling points of this course.
We are currently releasing a portion of the course for a limited time,
so please take a look.
The full course is available
for a limited time until September 6, 2020,
at 50% OFF (9,800 yen instead of the regular price of 19,800 yen).

In the era of telework, I sometimes hear that it is difficult to generate creativity, but in fact, the era of telework creates an environment where you do not have to conform too much to the atmosphere of the workplace.
If your home becomes an atelier for your vision, and each person can express what they want to do in the form of a vision and embody it to turn it into work, I think it is actually becoming an environment where unique creativity—originality—is easier to emerge. Why not take advantage of this environmental change and take the first step toward living by giving shape to your vision?
