Mr. Toru Kumon, Founder of Kumon

the kuMon Method waS Born FiFty yearS ago

in a Japanese household and remains the backbone of

Kumon’s educational publishing program. The step-by-step,

incremental approach to math and reading was designed

by high-school teacher Toru Kumon, who later founded

the Kumon Institute of Education. He originally created

his system to help his second-grade son Takeshi do bet-

worksheets by hand for Takeshi to study every day. Toru

worksheet to be slightly more difficult than that of the

day before, so that his son would continue to be inspired

by his studies, and advance without stress. Toru later de-

Convinced by his son’s results, Toru opened a learning

center with his wife on the second floor of their house in 1955

to share the valuable learning method with others. As the

years went by the Kumon Learning Center gradually gained

in reputation as its students’ grades in school dramatically

improved. Although he once struggled in math, Takeshi

what gooD is the outCome of our

work if it does not make us happier? according

to most psychologists today, citizens of two of

the richest countries on the planet, america

and Japan, don’t seem to be any happier

despite all their advances. philosopher/

entrepreneur hiroshi tasaka calls this the

“happiness gap,” and says it is the most

important personal crisis that we all face.

using a compelling mixture of Zen

buddhist philosophy and the teachings of

Friedrich nietzsche, tasaka argues for

the adoption of a purpose in our lives.

what sort of life would you be happy to

repeat, over and over again? what sort

of life features growth as its central

theme? how can we keep our eye on the

future while remaining rooted in the

present? let tasaka’s To the Summit

inspire you to answer these questions.
