A message from the publisherA book is physically light, but it is a condensation of the energy of many people—the author’s lifelong effort, the editor’s dedication and enthusiasm, the sales staff’s hard work, and the bookstore personnel’s care and attention. Then, of course, there is the critical participation of the reader, who may inspire yet new energy into the book. Every book we publish is the result of this involvement and commitment of energy.

With each season, the life expectancy of a book in the market has grown shorter and shorter. Sunmark, however, has not changed its policy of keeping its books available for readers for as long as possible, and this has resulted in many best-sellers and many long-sellers. Ikikata (or A Compass to Fulfillment—Passion and Spirituality in Life and Business), by Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Kyocera, is one such book. It was published in 2004, but is today even more popular than it was three years ago. Currently our sales figures are up to 570,000 copies.

The fact is, among publishers in Japan, Sunmark ranks number one in the ratio of best-sellers to number of books published.

An Earth-Saving Revolution, issued in 1993, made a major impact on society with its introduction of the beneficial effects of effective microorganisms. This was followed in 1995 by the publication of A Great Revolution in the Brain World, which anticipated the widespread interest in the workings of the right brain. This title, published in two volumes, sold a total of 5.5 million copies, establishing a new record in the Japanese publishing industry. In 1998, our Japanese translation of the American best-seller Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff sold 2 million copies.

In 2002, The Hidden Messages in Water became a long-selling bestseller with sales exceeding 265,000 copies sold. Filled with photographs of frozen water crystals, the book soon found an international audience. In the United States, the English translation of the book found its way onto the New York Times best-seller list for 28 weeks!

In 2005, Living without Disease, written by a renowned medical doctor with practices in both New York and Tokyo, offered new insight into human health. Book sales in Japan exceeded 1.7 million copies.

These are but a sample of Sunmark’s proud successes. It is a tradition that Sunmark promises to continue—publishing high-caliber best-sellers that inspire our readers with values that fill their lives with wonder and joy.

The Law of So Wa KaFulfillment—and Wealth—through Cleaning, Laughter, and Appreciationby Seikan Kobayashi, Ph.D125,000 copies soldCleanliness is next to godliness, the ancient proverb goes, and cleanliness is where we should begin, says Seikan Kobayashi, Ph.D. For by cleaning—starting with the “lowliest” but most basic of tasks, scrubbing the bathroom—we take the first step to cleaning and polishing what is most fundamental within ourselves. In this act of cleaning (so), we avail ourselves of the freedom to laugh (wa) at good as well as bad fortune, and from there we learn to appre-ciate (ka) life in its fullness. In these simple affirming moments of life, the wealth of being alive is drawn to us, and true prosperity—both emotionally and materially—can be attained.

Not As Difficult As You ThinkThe Ito Method for Learning Anything You Want, Passing Big Exams, and Realizing Your Dreamsby Makoto Ito211,000 copies sold. Rights sold to Korea and Taiwan“I really want to, but I can’t. . . . I don’t know how.” That’s the whine we hear everywhere, but according to Makoto Ito, the charismatic founder of the most successful preparation course for the bar exam in Japan, there isn’t much difference in capability from one person to another. What really matters is how we go about learning new things.

This is where The Ito Method breaks new ground:

•Thinkinreverse:startwiththegoal,thenbackup.•Envisionthewhole;thepartsaresecondary.•Memorizefirst,thenlearn.Based on proven techniques, The Ito Method gives us valuable, practical guidance on how to concentrate as we learn and how to approach an exam in order to pass it—both of which are a prelude to how to live life more fruitfully.

Water becomes beautiful when surrounded by positive en-ergy, and deformed when surrounded by negativity. Long-awaited photos show the real and amazing reactions of water crystals!

Water is the mirror of your heart. It reflects any and all of the human feelings. If you speak a word of gratitude to it and then freeze it, water forms a well-balanced, beautiful crystal.

But if you speak a badly to it, it cannot form a beautiful crys-tal. What does this mean? Perhaps this indicates how much power our words and thoughts have over our environment.

The unbelievable photos illustrating the book clearly show how water crystals determine what is good and what is not!

The Secret Life of Waterby Masaru Emoto94,000 copies sold. Rights sold to Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, USAWords were “shown” to water by posting pieces of paper with different words typed on them onto glass bottles filled with water.

Though the words were in different languages, all words meaning “thank you” made the water respond with beautiful, regu-lar-shaped crystals.

Words intended to hurt others failed to make crystals in all cases.

Water is a mirror that reflects our minds. Water is a medium onto which every bit of information in this world can be transferred. For example, if water is exposed to the words “thank you” and then frozen, it will settle into beautiful, regular-shaped crystals. However, water that is shown the words “you fool” fail to form crystals in any regular shape. What does this mean? It means that the words “thank you” have the power to affect all things and change them into good. Copiously illustrated with striking photos of water crystals, this book speaks out to the reader. See for yourself what our world is made up of, and how each of us should really live.

238pp; 128mm x 188mm; Paperback; ¥1,680. ISBN978-4-7631-9481-7

Note the beautifully shaped crystals that formed when “thank you” was written down and shown to water in different languages!

When in a container, the properties of water seem to change, as though the water can actually read any words shown to it and then react to what they mean.

Water fails to form crystals of any shape at all if you show it unkind

or hurtful words.

Life Will Get BetterLife is Designed to Get Better Anywayby Ken HondaSuccess in life comes naturally, says Ken Honda, author of the million-selling Eight Steps to Wealth and Happiness. Live life naturally, and success will natu-rally find you.

For Honda, everything starts within oneself. Having the right priorities—being a good parent, valuing partnership, seeking internal fulfillment—is foremost. The rest falls into place, because Life is designed to get better anyway. But relentless striving toward false goals, sacrificing integrity for advancement, settling for fast cash—all this won’t bring success. Understand what’s truly important in life and work, and wealth and happiness will come.

In simple, prescriptive terms, with anecdotes of lessons learned in his own life, Honda warns us of the error of adopting the philosophies of our parents and elders, which hold us back and confine our thinking. When difficulty strikes, it is opportunity to act positively for ourselves—and to open the door to riches both monetary and spiritual.

Now we are on the brink of “successful aging”—deciding how well we will live and die. The author insists that the divine code lies dormant within us all and that it can be switched “on,” while at the same time we can shut the undesirable genes “off.” In this way, we can create the lives we want.

Lose Weight by Mini-Fasting By Yumi Ishihara, M.D.Rights sold to Korea, Russia, Taiwan “The reason people go on a diet but fail to lose weight, or lose some only to re-gain it soon after, is because dieting means self-denial.” So says Dr. Ishihara, a familiar television figure in Japan.

What Dr. Ishihara recommends is to skip breakfast (hence the “mini-fasting” in the title), then drink a cup of ginger tea with brown sugar or honey several times a day. Just this, and your body will warm up, eliminating excess water, so that you’ll feel great and your stomach and legs will slim down. For dinner you can eat whatever you like, as much as you like, and even a moderate amount of alcohol is recommended!

Add daily foot baths or lower back baths, walking and light exercise regimes, and you’ll not only lose weight but you’ll grow healthier as well, gaining beauty that glows from within. The ultimate diet book.

Conversations with God Books 1, 2 and 3The way to happiness lies within you. In conversations with the deepest part of your being, you will find the truth about everything, about God, about the universe, about humanity.

In a period of his life when he was very unhappy at work, at home, and in his relationships, the author picked up a yellow legal pad and scribbled out his questions to God: “Why isn’t my life working?” “What is love?” “What is life?” “Who am I?” To his surprise, his pen started writing an answer.

So began the extraordinary “conversations with God.” The truths that you are looking for can all be found somewhere in these conversations. God answers each question one by one, at times profoundly, and at times humorously. Listen to the voice of your heart, and you too will see the truth revealed in all its stunning clarity.

Home with God In a Life That Never EndsHome with God is an uplifting masterpiece that explores the ultimate ques-tions of existence and transcendence. Nothing has riveted humanity’s interest more—nor has anything been more frightening or awe-inspiring—than the experience known as death.

In Home with God, the final installment of his best-selling Conversations with God series, Neale Donald Walsch asks the questions that everyone has longed to ask and receives the answers readers have all been waiting for. Through his profound and personal dialogue with God, Walsch explores the process by which all human beings must end their days here on earth and begin their new life in God’s Kingdom, to which all eventually return, regard-less of their earthly deeds.

Through the medium of simple, easy-to-understand conversations, this book reveals the reason for living, the purpose of living, and how to gain the greatest happiness. This astonishing spiritual work offers hope, comfort, and surprising revelations for all humankind.
