The Laws of Steel: Living a Life of Resilience, Confidence and Prosperity is the 26th volume of the Laws Series by Ryuho Okawa. “Steel” here means our true strength as children of God; we have an inherent power to manifest happiness and prosperity in our lives, and to overcome any evil or conflict to open a Golden Age.

This book is a compilation of six lectures that Ryuho Okawa gave in 2018 and 2019, each containing passionate messages for us to open a brighter future for ourselves and the world. It begins with a topic on how to invite prosperity. According to the author, happiness and prosperity are already inherent in all of us and all we need to do is just change our mindset to manifest them in real life. Chapter 2 describes the law of cause and effect, the basic principle to achieve success. Okawa says that if we want to be truly successful in life, we need to understand the law of cause and effect and humbly accept the outcome of our own thoughts and actions. In Chapter 3, Okawa refers to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and how we should live and work in this modern society where scientific technology rapidly advances and people’s life expectancy greatly increases. He also suggests us to do “inspiration-able” work and gives advice on how to receive good inspirations from heaven. These inspirations, he says, will also serve to solve many difficult challenges that we face in international society. In Chapter 4, Okawa talks of his personal experience on how he has achieved success through self-confidence, passion, and the heart of gratitude. He also refers to hot global issues including Iran and Israel, and presents ways to overcome conflicts between Christianity and Islam. In Chapter 5, Okawa talks of his mission and determination as a savior, and calls on people to live in a spiritual way and contribute to create a better world. The concluding chapter talks of the power to make miracles, and Okawa introduces some of the many miracles that happened to the members of Happy Science. He also emphasizes the importance of having a pure mind, giving love to others, and using prayers to open a brighter future.

This powerful and inspiring book will not only show us the ways to achieve true happiness and prosperity, but also the ways to solve many global issues we now face. It presents us with wisdom that is based on a spiritual perspective, and a new design for our future society. With the increasing number of people who read and understand the spiritual truths described in this book, we can overcome different values and create a peaceful world, thereby ushering in a Golden Age.
