About this listen
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)

Really good pill of knowledge
Accurate, excellent refresher for those who already are familiar with those ideas. Maybe also good a beginner...

Really lovely reminder of what's important in life
A lovely book with lots of things that we probably know, but need a gentle reminder to practice. Some interesting new things to learn and a nice uplifting little read/listen.

Probably an unfair evaluation
Probably an unfair evaluation but I was expecting so much more. From the recommendations I got I thought this will be one of those books to keep forever in your mind. It gives some great examples from other amazing books and gives you the overall experience of IKIGAI and what it is but, in my point of view, it lacks concrete examples/ways to achieve it.
