Take Heart! You're Stronger Than You Think

- The wake of a disaster is where dreams are often forged -

From misogyny to racism, divorce to near-death trauma, Misako Yoke has been through it all. What''s more, she''s come out on top. When her world fell apart, she picked up the pieces and built something beautiful. Today, Misako shares that story, helping people to grind through hardship.

Pushing ahead as a career woman, Misako came to understand how patriarchal Japan could be. After losing her job and husband, she was ready to begin a new adventure-one that would take her around the world, collecting vital insights.

Decades later, Misako presents the Genki Method, a 5-step guide that draws upon her greatest revelations-those derived from culture, heartbreak, friendship, loss, and love.

In lieu of a self-help lecture, Misako places her own life under the microscope and allows the lessons to surface organically. Examining injustice, personal mistakes, and profound grief, readers discover how survival is not enough . . . but claiming freedom is far more precious.
