Celebrating the Launch of Mei Kanai's Book
株式会社Reelu, located in Minato, Tokyo, is thrilled to announce a special online discussion event to commemorate the release of Mei Kanai's latest book, "How to Build a Career without Goals or Desires to Avoid Regret." The event is set to take place on February 4, 2026, at 19:00 JST via Zoom. This book, published by Discover 21, is scheduled to hit shelves on January 23, 2026.
Many individuals find themselves lost in a 'career maze', grappling with feelings of not knowing what they truly want or questioning if their current job is the right fit. This event aims to validate the notion of having no clear goals and empower participants to create a framework for decision-making that leads to fulfilling outcomes. Participants will be encouraged to leave the session with actionable insights for their next steps.
Event Features
The panel will include two inspiring figures - Mei Kanai, the CEO of Posiwill Inc., and Shuu Kono, the CEO of Reelu. Together, they will candidly share their personal struggles and uncertainties experienced throughout their career journeys. By delving into the challenges faced during their professional transitions, they will explore how to construct a career starting from what one can do rather than what one wants to do. The format will encourage dialogue that affirms the current self while encouraging progression into the future.
Additionally, the event will feature a unique 'Future Inventory' workshop, which will be an interactive experience that connects participants' reflections to actionable steps they can take starting the very next day.
