All right. I'm going to do something that I've never done before. This is I think this is my 18th book to release and but I'm going to actually read you the first two paragraphs of chapter two and a lot of research went in this

book I have someone that helps me in writing named David Holland who's a member of

our church helped me write many of the books that I've written and he does a lot of research as well

and so there's a lot of things in the book that you're not going to get out of just

one message but I just want to read you this because this is a worldwide epidemic.

So here's how chapter two starts.

The report submitted to the government of Japan simply called him Mr. A to protect his identity. Let's call him Mr. Asako.

He had worked for several years at a major Japanese snack food processing company,

often putting in as many as 110 hours each week.

Just to put that into perspective, that's more than 2.5, 40 hour work weeks jammed into one.

To log 110 hours in a week requires working nearly 16 hours per day for seven days.

He did that week after week, year after year. They found

Mr. Asoco dead at his workstation, the victim of a heart attack.

He was 34.

In Japan, they call it Keroshi.

I thought I'd put the word up. One of our elders, those grew up his

parents were missionaries at Japan and I think that's the way he told me to say it,

keroshi. The Chinese had their own word for it. I don't know how to say that one. What? You speak, some of you

speak Chinese? You speak Chinese. How do you say it? What she said?

What she said?

Golas Troy. Okay. That's the best thing to do. And in South Korea, Korea they call it.

Wasn't rosruis. All right? But listen to this, all three terms were coined fairly recently
