Radio on essential skills for the AI era: "Mindset," Speed Reading, Memory Techniques, and more.
On this radio show, I will share how to use the "mind"—humanity’s ultimate supercomputer—along with speed reading and memory techniques, to fully unleash your potential in the age of AI.
I, Gon Yuji, learned AI tools directly from James Skinner, well known for introducing The 7 Habits to Japan. Today, I dedicate myself to teaching AI skills to those who struggle with IT and computers.
In the past, I was extremely technophobic and convinced that information technology was simply "not for me."
However, with the arrival of the massive industrial revolution driven by the rise of AI since 2023, I let go of that limiting belief and made the decision to become an "AI Leader."
As Dr. Stephen R. Covey said:
"Leadership is not a position. It is not a title, experience, or age. A leader is one who demonstrates and guides—it is a choice between turning right or left."
I am also an instructor of Laughter Yoga, a wellness exercise combining laughter and yogic breathing. Having practiced it so consistently, I sometimes burst into laughter for no particular reason.
People occasionally think I’m an odd guy who just starts laughing out of nowhere, so let me apologize in advance!
An essential part of my life's story is the memory of my late mother, Fumiko.
My e-book documenting her health and caregiving journey reached #1 on Amazon's bestseller list.
In it, I share how I, born in Kobe, dramatically transformed my relationship with my mother through Laughter Yoga and The 7 Habits.
Cognitive scientist Dr. Hideto Tomabechi cited a teaching from the Tendai sect of Buddhism: "While alive, people live within their own minds; when they pass away, they live within someone else's mind."
Even today, my mother lives on within the infinite storage of my mind, with a vivid presence and voice. Her existence remains my purpose in life and my driving force.
What This Radio Aims to Achieve
What purpose and meaning do you seek to create in this age of AI?
On this show, along with practical ways to utilize AI tools, I will share the mechanisms of the human brain, the boundless possibilities of the mind, and the accompanying methods for speed reading and memory retention.
AI is a tool designed to expand our capabilities.
