You could call him a "Nepo baby," but he carved his own path away from his family, transforming the image of Japanese products forever. The book is scarce, and I was fortunate to have purchased the last paperback copy on Amazon. Being wealthy didn't make him any less intelligent or out of touch. It allowed him to be creative and pursue innovations that helped reshape his country and eventually the world. He inspired the Apple products we use today, as Steve Jobs looked up to him. Steve Jobs was not a "Nepo Baby," but he was inspired and mentored by one. Someone made a silly statement earlier today, saying they wouldn't buy the book of a billionaire because he was out of touch with their reality. I replied that if you continue to look for books that are in touch with your reality, you will never be inspired or make progress. Poverty and struggle are not virtues, and wealth doesn't make anyone a villain. It could open up the path to a higher level of thinking, which we must all aspire to for human progress.
