Parties for 'People Who Have Found What They Want to Do' to be Held in Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, Where Only 6% of Workers Are Enthusiastic—The Lowest in the World. A Publication Commemorative Event for the Book 'The Map of "What You Want to Do"'.
To address the quiet crisis in Japan, where only 6% of workers are enthusiastic about their jobs, mental coach Yuki Kanewaka is hosting publication commemorative parties in Tokyo and Osaka for his new book, 'The Map of "What You Want to Do"'. These events are designed to be transformative experiences where participants can connect, share their goals, and find inspiration to change their current situations. Following the parties, the author will embark on a nationwide tour across 100 locations in Japan to foster a new generation of leaders.

Only 6% of Japanese people work with enthusiasm—a figure that ranks Japan last among 139 countries worldwide according to Gallup, reflecting the reality that a quiet crisis of 'not being able to find what one wants to do' is already covering society as a whole.
To confront this question head-on, the book 'Liberate Yourself from Life's Uncertainties! The Map of "What You Want to Do"' (published by SB Creative) will be released nationwide on April 5, 2026.
The author is mental coach Yuki Kanewaka. After completing graduate school at Osaka University, he traveled around the world, joined a management consulting firm, experienced a setback by being fired four months after changing jobs following an MBA, and subsequently became independent as a life coach. Through coaching practice with over 1,500 people, he systematized the 'Have to Debris Removal Method'.
In the crowdfunding campaign prior to publication, he gathered support from 308 people totaling approximately 1.8 million yen. This figure is not merely an expectation for the book, but a reflection of the earnest voices of people who 'want to change the current situation.'
We will now hold publication commemorative parties in the two cities of Tokyo and Osaka. This is not just a celebration.
It is a time designed for transformation, where participants can actually experience 'what they want to do' and remove the frameworks of their own potential.
■ Why Insist on a 'Publication Commemorative Party'?
We do not want to hold a meeting that just reports, 'I published a book.'
The 308 supporters in the crowdfunding proved that there are definitely people who resonate with this question. We want to release that energy in a real space and have participants connect with each other, triggering a 'chain of people who have found what they want to do' in society. That is the fundamental feeling behind this party.
We believe that a time when 'people who have what they want to do' gather in one place in a country with the lowest work enthusiasm in the world will itself become a piece of news.
■ Event Overview
■ Party Content
1. 'What I Want to Do' Discovery Workshop
A small-group workshop directly facilitated by author Yuki Kanewaka.
This is a time for participants to actually experience the 'Have to Debris Removal Method' introduced in the book and grasp the outline of what they want to do on the spot. The counter-intuitive approach of removing the obstacles that cover up what one wants to do, rather than 'searching for what one is good at,' draws out participants' real realizations.
2. Participant Presentation 'I Will Declare What I Want to Do'
A segment where volunteers take 2–3 minutes each to declare 'what I want to do right now.'
By speaking it out loud in front of others, dreams become words, and words become the first step toward reality. We aim to create a space filled with energy, where encouragement and dialogue from the audience are born.
3. Author Talk Session 'From Setback to Coaching—The Reason I Wrote This Book'
A talk session where the author frankly speaks about his own original experiences, including traveling around the world, earning an MBA, and being fired four months after changing jobs.
He will delve into the background of the method, which was born precisely because he knows the 'pain of not having an answer,' while engaging in dialogue with the participants.
4. Networking (Social Gathering)
A social gathering where 'people looking for what they want to do,' 'people who have found it,' and 'people who are already in motion' gather in the same space.
It is designed with the intention that crowdfunding supporters, book readers, and first-time attendees will naturally mingle, creating new encounters and chemical reactions.
■ Background: Why is this party necessary now?
According to a survey by Gallup (2024 edition), only 6% of Japanese people work with enthusiasm. This is the lowest among 139 countries.
Behind this figure are a vast number of people who work while holding voiceless voices of 'I can't find what I want to do' or 'Is this really okay?' The book is one answer to those people, but change will not be born just by the book arriving.
This party is a space that takes participants beyond 'noticing by reading the book' to 'meeting people and starting to move.' By holding it simultaneously in the two major cities of Tokyo and Osaka, we hope it will be the starting point to spread this wave of change nationwide.

■ Future Development: 100-Location Nationwide Lecture Tour
From the second half of April 2026 to the end of December, author Yuki Kanewaka will begin a long-term tour personally visiting 100 locations across Japan.
We will select locations centered on places where 'people in their 20s and 30s who are worried about life gather,' such as high schools, university career centers, and coworking spaces across the country. We will hold publication commemorative lectures while presenting books at each location, aiming to mobilize an average of 30 people per session, for a total of over 3,000 direct encounters.
This project is not just a book promotion.
We position it as a social contribution activity that imparts leadership to potential-filled young people sleeping in regional areas and fosters the next generation of reformers. The ultimate goal is to trigger a chain reaction across the country where 'young people who have found what they want to do create new value locally and in society.'
