How to Ikigai: Lessons for Finding Happiness and Living Your Life's Purpose (Ikigai Book, Lagom, Longevity, Peaceful Living)

The author primary submission was on Half Ikigai/ Full Ikigai with focus on Half Ikigai. The transition to Full Ikigai was left out which is important on getting the value to the what the world wants and is willing to pay for.The author did not deep dive much, only snorkeling the idea at the surface where the treasure was far in the deep. Missed opportunity.

Stories and ideas in this are Great.Concept of half and full ikigai is very interesting.Practicle guidance for finding

I like the open ended nature of this book because the reader gets a choice about how they want to interpret the information used and the writing descriptors are more creative and dynamic than some of the most prominent writers out there. He has a unique ability to inject personality and pathos into his book.

I've been looking for the thread that weaves my life together as I consider what's next. I've successfully raised six children; held many part-time jobs; made thousands of home cooked meals; and created many many many holiday gatherings for family and friends.Created spaces that are beautiful and purposeful; learned crafts that provide clothes, blankets, jewelry and baked goods of all kinds. Took hundreds of classes, finished a B.S in business management, raised money for charities, trained people in job skills, started support groups for new mothers, volunteered for Cub Scouts, Brownies and Sunday school etc.The last 20 years or so, I cared for my parents and then my mom..her passing showed the need for help in elder care so I did that. I'm hot on the trail of what's next!If you are looking for your thread this book and it's simple presentation could be just the guide to get you started.I gave it five * because of its delightful content regardless of typeos. Hahaha!

Such a delightful little book! Fun and easy to read. I loved all the cute and interesting stories. I also found it very helpful. Loved the concept of full ikigai and half ikigai and the practical tips to get started immediately.

This is an insightful introduction to the concept of Ikigai and has really inspired me to find out more about the topic and to seek out my Ikigai. Ikigai is something I had never heard of before and stumbled across as part of a mentoring and coaching programme. This book has been a great eye-opener into Ikigai and has inspired me on how to get started.I am truly fascinated by the idea of Ikigai and the author presented the information in a really easy to follow way and has a story telling element that drew me in. This was a quick read for me and I have already referred back to it many times.If anything I would of liked the book to be a little bit longer and perhaps had an appendix with more examples of people's Ikigai or a worksheet for the reader to follow. However, this little book was the perfect place to start for me and looking forward to discovering my Ikigai.

I just loved the book! It was easy to read with touching examples of real life people who have found their own Ikigai. After reading the book I understand clearly what I need to do to find mine.
