"Professor Yoro Considers Life! Ep50. I Get Influenced by the News" Now Available on Audible!

The "Baka no Kabe" (Wall of Fools) series has surpassed 7 million copies sold, and the latest book, "Jinsei no Kabe" (Life's Wall), is already a bestseller. Professor Takeshi Yoro, an anatomist, avid insect enthusiast, and a thinker who captivates many with his unique perspective, deepened his contemplations on people and life after battling cancer last year at the age of 86.
This program aims to thoroughly explore the concept of "life" with Professor Yoro.
What is the fundamental meaning of "living"? What should people prioritize in their lives? Why can't we live life as we wish? How can we move forward when we hit life's walls? This program delves into these questions through Professor Yoro's unique viewpoint.

In the main content, Professor Yoro shares profound words backed by his knowledge and experience, such as: "When you're tired, don't watch the news. Watch the weather forecast," "The recognition that civilization depends on oil," "I question how long modern civilization will last," "There's no point in worrying too much about global affairs," "What media do you get information from?" "Watching the news directly on TV is exhausting," "Who is Trump addressing with his words?" "The world's idea that it's okay to kill someone if they are wrong," "The barbarity of anti-personnel landmines that injure rather than kill," "The usefulness of print media. Don't look at what you don't need to see," and "The feeling of being influenced also leads to thinking."
We encourage you to listen during your commute, work, or chore breaks.
