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.
'I read it and it's bewitched me ever since. I'm spellbound.'
Chris Evans
'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.'Neil Pasricha, bestselling author of The Happiness Equation

Very enjoyable book. It's gentle and informative, giving thoughts on everything from how people tune their minds, to different forms of exercise and tips on tea, as well as news of the way certain parts of Japan live their lives, given in such a way as to feel more like we are visiting than reading.
It’s a simple book about long and happy life, that can be so universal for any person in the current world.
A book for everyone: poor or rich, happy or unhappy, modern or old fashion, young or old ...
It may change the way that you see yourself.
Do not be afraid to read it and enjoy the universal secret of a long and happy life!
