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)

Worth Listening Book

Short and simple. Easy to listen in one day. Provides some useful tips, but I was expecting more insights, not only based on a few real life examples.

Interesting

The book was interesting and gave us a lot of insight on how to live our lives a little bit longer by finding our Ikigai and by following or practicing some things things that will make our existence a bit easy.
There was a part of the book that quite a bit redundant though. It’s the wabi sabi part and they kind of saying it over and over again with the same context. I like the way how the narrator narrated the book as well.

Well read
