Find purpose, meaning and joy in your work and life

We all have an ikigai. It's the Japanese word for 'a reason to live' or 'a reason to jump out of bed in the morning'. The place where your needs, ambitions, skills and satisfaction meet. A place of balance.

This book will help you unlock what your ikigai is and equip you to change your life. There is a passion inside you - a unique talent that gives you purpose and makes you the perfect candidate for something. All you have to do is discover and live it.

Do that, and you can make every single day of your life joyful and meaningful.

Reviews

Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them
I love [this] book… I read it and it’s bewitched me ever since. I’m spellbound
A refreshingly simple recipe for happiness... According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai. It means your purpose – the reason you get up in the morning. The thing that fires you up and keeps you busy. Your raison d'être.
Curl up on the sofa with this and enjoy an insight into Japanese culture while picking up some self-care tips you may not have considered before... Ikigai offers an insight into a gentle yet focused way of life built around a sense of purpose.
Ikigai gently unlocks simple secrets we can all use to live long, meaningful, happy lives. Science-based studies weave beautifully into honest, straight-talking conversation you won’t be able to put down. Warm, patient, and kind, this book pulls you gently along your own journey rather than pushing you from behind.
[The] Japanese art of ikigai ... Its basic message is about "authentic living". Practitioners must fill in overlapping circles that cover motivation, fulfilment, what they earn and what improves their life. The answer at the centre will be the key to a happy and long life.
If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something - and doing it with supreme focus and joy.

After a trip to Japan of a duration of 3 weeks, I was very interested in Japanese culture and lifestyle and wanted to discover more about it. This book has been great to learn a lot on Japanese mentality and wisdom, it has largely inspired me and I might listen to it again from time to time. I will definitely keep in mind some of the tips that are explained in this book and am sure that they'll help me feel better in my daily life when needed.

Inspiring and motivating

It turned out to be a great book with a beautiful message.
