Learn to Decide: A New Book Based on Kawai Juku's Insightful Approach to Life Choices
In today's fast-paced world, we face numerous choices every day, ranging from significant life decisions such as education and career pathways to simpler daily options like shopping and moving. However, recent surveys reveal that a mere 13% of high school students have been educated on effective decision-making strategies. Most people find themselves tackling decisions without a clear understanding of how to make those choices effectively.
A significant decision point for many individuals is the process of choosing their paths in life, such as selecting a university or a career. Despite having ample information about potential options, many students and young adults often feel confused about how to actually decide. This disconnect is evident in the Kawai Juku guidance programs, where many high school students struggle to determine their future paths, despite access to plentiful information.
To address this gap, Kawai Juku has developed a program focused on teaching decision-making skills, aptly titled 'Mirai Selection.' Launched in 2020, this program has already reached over 10,000 high school students. The program focuses on the entire decision-making process—understanding one's current situation, evaluating multiple options, and developing personal criteria for comparison, which empowers students to make informed and confident decisions. This program not only emphasizes the moment of decision but also the preparation leading up to it.
In September 2025, Kawai Juku will publish a new book titled 'All the Necessary Ways of Deciding Can be Learned Through Career Choices.' This insightful book aims to distill the lessons learned from the 'Mirai Selection' program into a format accessible to all generations. Written by Daisuke Yamaguchi, the head of the School Operations Promotion Department at Kawai Juku, along with Naoki Yamamoto from the Japan Research Institute, the book provides practical frameworks and techniques for decision-making that can apply to any significant life event.
As life is filled with choices—from academic decisions to marriage, and from career changes to daily chores—the skills detailed in this book are crucial for navigating life's complexities without regrets. This work is particularly timely as students prepare to enter college and face their first major life decision. By teaching the principles of effective decision-making, Kawai Juku hopes to equip readers with the tools to approach their choices with clarity and confidence.
The book features 260 pages and is published by Toyo Keizai Inc. It will be available for purchase at a retail price of 1,760 yen, including tax. Understanding how to make informed and satisfactory decisions is essential for everyone, and 'All the Necessary Ways of Deciding Can be Learned Through Career Choices' is a significant step in providing these necessary tools.
For media inquiries, the authors are available for interviews to discuss the insights and strategies outlined in the book, as well as the broader implications of effective decision-making in various aspects of life. The popularity of the 'Mirai Selection' program, which has received recognition including the Good Design Award in 2022, underscores the importance and relevance of the conversation around decision-making in educational contexts and beyond.
