How to Overcome Work Anxieties One by One



We hope this book offers a spark or hint for young businessmen and women on how to flexibly deal with setbacks and challenges (walls) and achieve their goals.says author Mariko Yamasaki about her new book, "How to Overcome Work Anxieties One by One: 5 Ways to Surmount Walls," released on December 6th.


Text by KAJII Makoto (OPENERS)




Surmount Walls, Polish Your Brilliance,

And Evolve Yourself



The walls of self-doubt, of not knowing, of leadership, of human relationships, of goals. When a wall appears before you, how do you continue to evolve yourself?


Mariko Yamasaki, the youngest executive officer at United Arrows and the first woman to hold the position, teaches, "Walls are opportunities for growth. How you overcome them becomes your skill, your individuality, your philosophy."



— There's more than one way to break through. There are many methods to reach the other side of a wall.

— How you overcome it becomes your individuality and philosophy.
(From the text)


Yamasaki shared a message with OPENERS readers: "I published my first book on December 6th. It's about how to overcome work-related challenges, written from my own experience. When a wall appears, there's no need to be crushed. You don't need to overreact either. Confront it as a natural occurrence, keep solving it, and use it as fuel for your personal growth. This is my approach to life."
