Exploring the Current Landscape of Learning and Career Development

On September 15, 2025, MIMIGURI will host a significant talk event titled "Adventurous Career Theory: Never Stop Learning". This event is a celebration of the publications by Jun Nakahara, a professor at Rikkyo University, and Yuki Anzai, Co-CEO of MIMIGURI. These thought leaders will share their insights on what it truly means to continue learning in a rapidly evolving work environment.

Event Background

In today's digital age, the push for digital transformation (DX) and reskilling has become ever more prominent. Professionals are constantly urged to maintain a mindset of lifelong learning. However, this pressure has cultivated a phenomenon known as "learning fatigue," where individuals feel overwhelmed and anxious about the expectation to keep learning.

Given this context, the event seeks to address the fundamental question: What does it mean to build a truly fulfilling career through learning? The dialogue will be anchored by Jun Nakahara's recent book, "A Guide to Lifelong Learning," and Yuki Anzai's work, "Creating Adventurous Organizations," which offers a fresh perspective on organizational theory.

Key Discussion Points

During the talk, Nakahara and Anzai will converge their expertise to explore critical angles regarding learning and career development:

• - The Necessity of Continuous Learning: What are the driving factors that compel us to keep learning?
• - Understanding Learners: What distinguishes individuals who continue to learn from those who cease pursuing knowledge?
• - Building a Personalized Career: Exploring pathways to career fulfillment beyond mere skill enhancement.
• - Cultivating Intrinsic Motivation: How can we foster a genuine desire for learning, free from external pressures?

Participants and Book Giveaway

Attendees will not only gain valuable insights but will also receive both authors' latest books as a part of their participation. The event promotes the theme of “knowledge circulation,” encouraging participants to deepen their understanding and share their learnings with colleagues and mentees.
