Ikigai & Kaizen: The Japanese Strategy to Achieve Personal Happiness and Professional Success (How to set goals, stop procrastinating, be more productive, build good habits, focus, & thrive)

This book is amazing. It provides the only true methodology every human being should know, learn and apply to live a happy and successful life.

Very practical and good for modern times.

The literature of this book help me to understand how we have different perspectives and experiences

This was my first time reading a book on Ikigai and I made a fantastic choice because Anthony Raymond gives you so much more than Ikigai philosophy in this book. He blends 4 Japanese and Chinese philosophies together to construct a powerful self-development framework that we can utilise in daily life. I can’t wait to start implementing these tools. I’m very grateful for the wisdom contained in this book. Happy reading.

This review is from my husband, for whom I bought the book and who has some experience with Ikigai as an educator and trainer in resilience: "Although I'm familiar with the concepts in the book, it would have been helpful to understand why the four concepts are something I need to know and practice. The "why" is missing. It's really important to cite sources. However, the book is a compilation of other people's work - not the author's. Is the author an expert on Ikigai, et al, or providing a summary of other's expertise? One positive feedback: the pictures are helpful and effective in relaying the covered topics."
