The Little Book of Ikigai: The secret Japanese way to live a happy and long life

This is one of the very useful book to read as it comes with great life teachings. Highly recommended.

The book linked Japanese culture to the concept of Ikigai and how to implement Ikigai in their daily lives. Lots of tips and ideas to help you implement it.-Would be nice if it featured a couple of more practical pointers on how non-Japanese folk implement ikigai in their lives.

This is my very first time reading (listening to?) an audio book so let me write a small review on the app first. Audible is very simple and friendly to use. I didn’t have any difficulties even it was my first time. As an English learner, I found this would be a very nice way to train my listening skills. I’ll definitely continue using this, and see how it works. The book is also well-made. The context is mainly about Japanese culture presented by the neuroscientist Ken Mogi. He wrote the Japanese culture from a very unique perspective so it was even new for Japanese people like me. One day I listened to the radio which he was there as a guest, he said that “my next goal is writing a book in English”, and it comes true now. I am very happy to read his book in English and I’m now looking forward his further work on English books.

So far all goods.. thanks

Don’t be fooled by the aesthetic cover - the info here could be obtained from a long blog post. It seems there are probably better books on this topic.

Good quality and value

A delightful book, but lacking in guidance. I loved the anecdotes about ikigai, but I was looking for clearer signposts to finding my own.

This is an excellent exploration into different ways of living and thinking. It is particularly helpful as an antidote to anxiety and other mental health struggles arising from a Western lifestyle.

This book takes you to the Heart of Ikigai and helps the reader understand the meaning of ikigai. It is a great read.

This was a great read. Well written.

A view that simple small changes can alter entire perspective of life has been lucidly talked about in this book.

Quick delivery, excellent state.

The book is not going to turn your life around in a day. Its teachings need to be applied gradually. Appreciate yourself but not inflate your ego, take pleasure in small things and find harmony in them, appreciate the present and live it to the fullest. Sushi masters, manga artists, craftsmen and their source of ikigai are all in this book. I am sure you will find yours too
