La torche Begins Global Reviewers Circle for 'Brain Management'
In an exciting move towards creating the global paperback version of her book, "Brain Management", Sanae Akima, representative of La torche, announced the launch of the "Global Reviewers Circle" starting August 2025. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure that the English edition reaches a diverse audience. Following the recognition at the Next Era Cognitive Science Innovation Award in New York and its feature in the Wall Street Journal's "New Era Leaders", the project aims to build an even more comprehensive international version of the book.
Background
The insightful work, "Brain Management", is rooted in neuroscience and offers methods for fostering transformation within individuals and organizations. Remarkably, the Japanese version saw a reprint within just 20 days of its release. With plans to release the English Kindle version globally in May 2025, the book is garnering international acclaim. The positive reception includes features in prestigious publications and awards, which have contributed to its growing popularity among a global readership.
The Global Reviewers Circle Initiative
The newly launched "Global Reviewers Circle" aims to co-create the global paperback version of "Brain Management" by inviting readers worldwide to participate. Participants will have early access to draft content via Google Docs, allowing them to leave comments and feedback directly on the manuscript. This collaborative effort intends to adapt the language and examples to resonate with a variety of cultural contexts. Already, trailblazers from countries including the UK, Ethiopia, South Korea, and Switzerland have joined the initiative.
How to Participate
Interested individuals can register via the following application form:
Global Reviewers Circle Registration.
Upon registration, participants will receive an automated email containing a link to access the commenting file with detailed guidance.
Timeline
Feedback will be accepted until August 23, 2025, and the insights gathered will be reflected in the paperback version set to be released in the autumn of 2025.
Benefits for Participants

- - Early access to the manuscript and a chance to contribute to its development.
