Through the experience and philosophy of professional gamer Daigo Umehara, this book makes you think deeply about growth and sustaining motivation. Umehara became the world's top player at the age of 17 and paved the way for him to become Japan's first professional gamer. In this book, he talks about the knowledge he gained along the way without imposing it on the reader.
I think the theme of this book is the growth loop. Umehara emphasizes the importance of realizing your own growth every day without depending on external evaluations. He says that after practicing for 16 hours a day, he became ill and could not enjoy playing games. Based on this reflection, he discovers a way to maintain motivation by taking notes of small daily growth without being bound by a sense of obligation.
As a specific episode, Umehara started the habit of taking notes of growth one day. This creates a virtuous cycle in which the realization of growth creates motivation, which then encourages further practice and results. I felt that a stable continuation of this "growth loop" is the key to Umehara's success.
Umehara also says, “The lower the goal, the better ”. This is based on the idea that it is important to accumulate successful experiences by setting achievable goals.
This book contains many ideas that can be applied not only to skills and strategies as a professional gamer, but also to business and everyday life. For example, I felt that practical advice such as "Even if I can grow, I won't raise the bar blindly" would surely be useful for the challenges we face in life.
Umehara's style of narration is not intrusive, and he talks about his own experiences in a matter-of-fact way. For that reason, I felt that this book would naturally help me identify with his ideas and raise my awareness of my own growth.
