Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The international bestseller.
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’.
It’s the place where your needs, desires, ambitions and satisfaction meet. A place of balance. Small wonder that finding your ikigai is closely linked to living longer.
Finding your ikigai is easier than you might think. This audiobook will help you work out what your own ikigai really is and equip you to change your life. You have a purpose in this world: your skills, your interests, your desires and your history have made you the perfect candidate for something. All you have to do is find it.
Do that and you can make every single day of your life joyful and meaningful.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.
Critic reviews
"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.... Warm, patient, and kind, this book pulls you gently along your own journey rather than pushing you from behind." (Neil Pasricha, best-selling author of The Happiness Equation)

Easy to listen to
Some great research, well informed narrative. Good flow with lots of new /ancient ideas for a better way of life rather than the rat race.

Lovely book
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the concept of ikigai to life and adding depth to the story. Her calm and measured delivery really added to the overall impact of the message. They offer a fresh perspective on this mysterious ikigai that really resonated with me, and I found myself reflecting on my own life and goals as a result. It's a thought-provoking and enlightening listen that will leave you with a renewed sense of direction and purpose.
