We encounter different challenges in our day-to-day life. It is not easy to handle the pressure of multiple things all at once. In the rush of life, we often become harsh towards ourselves. And what we need to realise is that we deserve to honour our truth and live it completely.
Ichibun by Kosuke Sendo is a compilation of 49 short stories depicting the secrets of Japanese precision. With the aid of the aviation industry, the book attempts to teach readers how to make better life decisions. It claims to be an ideal read for entry-level, top-level, and mid-level management professionals.
The book essentially covers how pilots make decisions on flights and urges us to apply those lessons to our everyday lives. Divided into 3 parts, it makes use of storytelling and concrete concepts to inculcate the practice of decision-making in the readers.
The simple writing coupled with a refreshing approach of including lessons from flying planes brings novelty to the book. It delves into layers of human psychology to bring out points that would explain more about resilience engineering. The stories seem easy-peasy but do have some interesting points to make. They focus on identifying errors in daily life and suggest ways to resolve them.
I liked a few lessons from the book that struck a chord with me. The one on planning thoroughly was probably my favourite as it emphasizes the importance of giving time to what I would call 'sharpening the axe.' It is always a good idea to work hard on making proper strategies to execute something successfully.
I feel some people might not be very intrigued by the aviation details discussed in the book. Nonetheless, if the premise interests you, do check out this book.

February 5, 2024Have you ever wondered how the Japanese manage to achieve such high standards of quality, safety, and efficiency in their products and services? How do they cope with daily crises and challenges in their workplaces and society? What are the secrets behind their remarkable resilience and adaptability?
If you are curious about these questions, you might want to read ICHIBUN: The Secrets of Japanese Precision by Bungaku Kosu Ke Sendo, a former airline pilot and a consultant on human factors and resilience engineering. In this book, Sendo shares his insights and experiences from his long career in the aviation industry, where he learned the Japanese way of thinking and acting to ensure safety and excellence.
The book is written in a clear and engaging style, with many anecdotes and illustrations to support the author’s points. The book is suitable for anyone who is interested in learning more about the Japanese aviation way, human factors, resilience engineering, and crisis management. The book is also relevant for anyone who wants to improve their own safety and resilience in their personal and professional lives. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on human factors and resilience engineering, as well as a unique perspective on the Japanese culture and philosophy.
The book is divided into five parts. The first part introduces the concept of ICHIBUN, which means "one part" or "one share" in Japanese. Sendo explains that ICHIBUN is the respect, dignity, and honour that we have toward ourselves, and that it is what motivates us to help others, to avoid errors, and to make better decisions. He argues that ICHIBUN is the foundation of the Japanese culture of safety and quality, and that it can be applied to any field or situation.
The second part of the book describes the various methods and tools that the Japanese use to manage daily crises and prevent accidents. Sendo covers topics such as risk assessment, error management, communication, teamwork, leadership, and organizational learning. He illustrates each topic with examples and stories from his own experience as well as from other domains, such as medicine, engineering, and education. He also provides practical tips and exercises for the readers to apply the methods and tools to their own contexts.
The third part of the book discusses the future challenges and opportunities for the Japanese and the world in terms of safety and innovation. Sendo reflects on the lessons learned from the past disasters, such as the Fukushima nuclear accident and the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggests ways to improve the resilience and adaptability of the systems and the people. He also explores the potential of artificial intelligence, big data, and digital transformation to enhance the performance and safety of the human-machine interaction.
The book is written in a clear and engaging style, with a mix of anecdotes, facts, and opinions. Sendo does not shy away from expressing his views and criticisms on some of the issues and problems that he observes in the Japanese and the global society. He also invites the readers to think critically and creatively about their own situations and challenges, and to find their own solutions based on the principles and practices of ICHIBUN.
The book is not only informative and enlightening, but also inspiring and empowering. It shows that the secrets of Japanese precision are not so secret after all, and that they can be learned and adopted by anyone who is willing to respect themselves and others, to strive for excellence, and to embrace change. It is a book that can help you improve your personal and professional life, and to contribute to a safer and better world.

We all ignore our mistakes in daily life without giving much thought to their consequences. This book draws our attention to these errors which we neglect that leads to threat and loss of lives.

"If you prepare yourself with the idea that you will be responsible for everything, you will not be afraid of anything."
Ichibun is a book which tells us the secrets of Japanese precision and helps us find a way to manage our lives like a pro. The book is a detailed and scientific study of how one can manage his or her lifestyle, mindset, condition, thought, and many other things to lead a life which is satisfactory and healthy.
The life these days is a race and everyone wants to win it by hook or by crook ignoring all the important conditions which are required to be fulfilled. In this book I have read a lot of small instances which help realise how important small things in life mean, for example the decision making capability and taking the decision at the right time can change the situation completely. There are small illustrations at the beginning of each part in the book which help us understand the chapter more intensely.
I enjoyed reading chapter 4 a lot because it is full of knowledge and wisdom according to me. The book is written in simple language and is organised into chapters and sections very beautifully. The entire book seem to be connected with makes it interesting and worth reading till the end.
Everything in the book seem to make a lot of sense and is proven scientifically or with examples. It is an insight of how we should live to the fullest and and make our lives easier. I recommend this book to all the people who are stuck in the situations which are not easy to tackle. For example it tells us that accepting in practical tasks cannot benefit but will make something unusual happen. The book is more inclined to making the practical decisions in life of a person whose working or wants to be successful in life.
Overall it was a good experience reading this book and I learned a lot of things at the very beginning of my new job so it is a win-win situation for me.

It doesn’t matter how big or small the problem is, all it matters is how you deal with or tackle the situation. More than often we face unwelcomed situations in our day-to-day life. Sometimes, we lose our hope and positivity and focus solely on “how overwhelming the situation is”.
Author Kosuke sendo focused exactly on such an issue. Our daily struggles and how to overcome them, in a respectful and logical manner. divided into 5 parts the book follows forty-nine stories and explored how to achieve maximum precision and lead a holistic life. There are plenty of things to learn from each of these stories, starting with the first one where the pilot faced a life and death situation, not just his but also of the entire crew of the flight as they navigated in terrible weather. One of the primary lessons from the book is to follow all the instructions or let's say advice told by the adults or seniors but also keep a logical view point open all the time. Following anything or anyone, without thinking twice, lands us in a great disaster.
The author emphasized the need to keep emotions at bay while taking major decisions, he, in turn, delved into our behavioral and physiological tendencies of us.
Some of the important pointers from the book for me were
1. Gather information about your problem. Analyse-it, and try to find multiple perspectives on it.
2. In life it's very difficult to satisfy all the conditions at the same time, thus avoid listening to devils whisper.
3. Its always better to take the advice of someone who is far more experienced in the field rather than following the hierarchy of the organization
4. If you prepare yourself with the idea that you are responsible for everything then nothing can scare you.
I find this book an excellent read to navigate various issues life throws at us and especially a perfect book to gift anyone who is working on the frontline.

Most of us, when faced with a major decision, tend to make lists—whether on paper or mentally—of pros and cons. Occasionally we go so far as to use the Benjamin Franklin method and weight these lists, but that's often as far as rational decision making goes. We fall back on decisions where "it feels right" or "I have a gut instinct about this one". A non-fiction page-turner and an extremely useful book. It won't make your decisions perfect, but it'll give you an algorithm for generating ideas in various situations, making your decision process less stressful and more reliable.
Positives:
1. A book that is interesting, accessible, well-researched, and well-referenced.
2. A practical topic: how to make better decisions in life and work. They have great command of the topic, and they make it fun and instructive.
3. I love how this book is formatted. It takes a professorial approach. Each chapter follows a consistent format that includes new concepts, real-life examples, and one-page summaries.
4. One of the main ideas of this book is to get over the "spotlight." That is to recognise that the spotlight rarely provides everything needed to make sound decisions. The book is full of great examples illustrating the spectrum of poor to sound decisions in business and on the personal front.
This is one good book that I would prefer.

Only if there exists a problem solving books, the world would still not be a better place. But Ichibun on a positive note is that book which gives Japanese precision onto managing such human errors specially in aviation sector.
Although it is said that mistakes can never be solved just by incorporating the methods that are written in rule book but rather it is sometimes safe to do so. It is about how decision making could really alter the situation in the time of need by optimising the accidents.
The book talks about how the chain of command must be followed in times of emergency right from front line employees to managers to bosses.
The author helps provide how important it is to understand the usual things that has been around the process. It highlights how one must look into things as per the code book but gives space for working out of rule book in need of emergency.
It rightly explains the possible situations through case studies and the decisions that were taken during the emergency. It gives information related to aviation industry especially Japan and how precisely act up rightly at right time and right place in order to reduce the catastrophe.
This book helps understand how one must act right in the situations leading to emergency. These decision making information could be opted for day to day activities.

Ichibun is the respect, dignity and honour that we have toward ourselves.
This book is the Japanese aviation way of avoiding problems, identifying threats and managing errors. The author has developed the book from stories they have heard and observed in the many years of their career as an airline pilot.
The book is based on the themes of decision making, managing and avoiding problems in the technical field or any business, with the approaches followed by those in aviation. It's a must read for everyone as it will help in making the right decisions. With 49 short stories having great lessons to learn. Now, these aren't necessarily stories, these are situations in which the frontline workers, managers and bosses react a certain way and we're supposed to learn from the mistakes of the others.
It's a well-presented and amazingly developed book that holds so much information and that too in an interesting way, otherwise I find it quite difficult to finish up a non-fiction book. This wasn't the case with Ichibun. Backed with engaging illustrations, this book discusses the idea that there's a solution to every problem.
I'm excited to try to incorporate the lessons and the methods learnt from the book into my life. A must-try for everyone regardless of their profession!

This is one of those books that, once you've read it, permanently shifts your perspective. It made me think altogether differently about the value of having MORE choices. As the author argues, your sense of well-being increases when you go from having no choices to having a few choices. But as you go from having a few choices to having many choices, your happiness typically goes down. Why? Because it's time-consuming and stressful to choose between all those alternatives! You become fearful of making a mistake, of not making the absolute best choice. And often the more time you spend making that perfect choice, the more unhappy you are second-guessing yourself after the fact. Did I make a mistake?
How to get out of this dilemma? Limit your choices to a handful that satisfy your criteria. Then stop adding more alternatives. This may sound kind of self-evident, but can be extraordinarily difficult to put into practice, whether it has to do with choosing mates or picking a university to attend. The book is well-supported by lots of experimental evidence. Well worth reading. Highly recommended.

Although problems are a natural part of life and will inevitably arise, how we respond to them sets us apart from other people.
According to what I know, Ichibun means honour. The solving of difficulties is the subject of the book. How to handle everyday issues, how to handle mistakes, how to spot threats and make the most of them.
The novel begins with a flight scene, more specifically one from the cockpit, and closes with another flight scene. The flight scenarios are displayed to help us comprehend how pilots make split-second decisions in the event of any emergency and how we should apply those techniques to improve our decision-making in daily life.
Although the book is specifically created for front-line workers, bosses, and managers, everyone can read it to better themselves. If you fully comprehend this book, which features 49 different stories spread throughout 5 chapters and a few sub-chapters, it will help you make decisions more quickly. In order to get everything straight in your head while reading this book, you must maintain a high level of focus.
Highly educational; advised.

What a stroke of genius! The book won't necessarily make you more decisive, but it will make you more confident in making your decisions. I know I sometimes agonise over major life decisions, and this book has given me the tools to not get so stressed out about whether I am making the right choice or not. Everyone who thinks pro/con lists are the only way to make decisions, or the best way to make decisions, is seriously misinformed and needs to read this book.
I'm not sure if "ooching" is always practical, but I like the word. I love the idea of setting trip wires and asking
Decisive is a phenomenal resource for a fantastic decision-making process, whether you're moving, considering a new job, making a technical decision, or just about anything else. I'm already endorsing this book left and right—if you make decisions, and you do, you need to read it. The techniques and mental models introduced are useful for anyone.

Decisions are something we often find always struggling to take the right decision. And the book 𝑰𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒏 talks about the decision making techniques using the Japanese techniques. Whenever it comes to Japanese approach to something I find myself inclined towards it, because of its practicality.
The author has shared his thoughts through this book in short yet effective chapters. The techniques he has shared talks about we should keep our emotions at bay, learn from other people's mistake, decisions require confidence, we should not follow instructions blindly.
The book talks about how correct decisions influence our lives. The author has also talks about the front end workers and flight process.
Overall this book open the notion of new approaches to take decisions.
Loved the book and would recommend everyone to read this book.
