To my shock and pleasure, the Japanese translation of The Shangri-La Diet is #2 on Amazon Japan — at least, a few seconds ago. Yesterday a Japanese TV show ran an hour-long segment about it.
Thanks to Gen Taguchi, who not only told me about this but recommended the book to a Japanese publisher and oversaw the translation.
The cover looks a lot more enthusiastic than the English edition.
Can someone translate it for us?
Cool! And somehow intuitive…
Hi Seth–
Congrats on the Japanese edition! Tom’s description of the cover as enthusiastic is perfect. Looks like you’ll now be able to say you’re an international best-selling author.

Here’s a rough translation of the bigger text…my reading sucks but here’s something:
New York Times Bestseller!
Once a day is even ok!
Can be done wherever you are!
The Shangri-La Diet
A combination of head and heart
