In *How to Work*, legendary entrepreneur Kazuo Inamori shares hard-won wisdom from transforming a failing ceramic firm into global giant Kyocera. He upends the common belief that work is just a paycheck, framing it as a profound spiritual practice to refine character and elevate mindset. Through vivid anecdotes—from sleeping with a ceramic pipe to perfect it, to defying skeptics to launch a telecom business—Inamori breaks down actionable principles: learn to love unfulfilling work by diving into its details, set audacious goals and pursue them with relentless effort, embrace radical perfectionism, and dare to take uncharted paths. He also introduces his iconic life equation: Success = Mindset × Passion × Ability, emphasizing that a positive, selfless mindset is the most critical factor. Whether you’re a young professional or seasoned leader, this book shows how daily dedication can transform your career and life.
