Summary

It is said that many successful businesspeople often listen to rakugo, which is a traditional form of Japanese comedy.

Also, according to one survey, about half of businesspersons with high annual incomes answered that they love rakugo.

Why do they love rakugo?

This is because we can learn important things about business and life from rakugo, such as how to communicate, how to conduct oneself, and how to succeed in life.

In this book, the two authors, both of whom have achieved many years of success in the business world after graduating from rakugo, introduce the essence of business learned from rakugo.
