■ "So, what will you do?"—Simple questions change lives

Do you ever have moments where, even if you are not particularly dissatisfied with your work or private life, a voice asks, "Is this really what you want to do?"

This book advocates a shift in thinking: "What you want to do is not something to go looking for outside, but something you create yourself." Through dialogues with the wise man, readers gradually get closer to the answers within themselves.

■ Acquire self-coaching skills just by reading the story

Each of the wise man's questions, which seem simple at first glance, is backed by professional techniques honed through coaching over 200 executives. While enjoying the story, you can naturally master self-coaching skills to guide yourself.

■ Recommended for

- Those who feel they are losing themselves while busy with daily work and life
- Those who are tired of "soul searching"
- Leaders struggling with the development of subordinates or teams
