About this listen

Discover the Japanese secret to unlocking your purpose, productivity, and passion in life!

  • Are you struggling to find your "true calling," feeling adrift without a clear sense of direction?
  • Does procrastination or a lack of motivation prevent you from accomplishing your goals?
  • Has your growth been stunted by self-doubt or a fear of failure?

Indeed, failure is the unfortunate result of most endeavors. Eighty percent of New Year's Resolutions fail by February. For many people, surrender feels like the easiest option.

But what if I told you that the Japanese have found a solution to your goal-achievement problems?

In this audiobook, we'll reveal three concepts from the east:

  • Ikigai - A strategy to discover one's purpose, meaning, and "true calling" in life.
  • Hansei - The ancient art of honest self-reflection.
  • Kaizen - An incrementalist approach to goal achievement developed by Japanese engineers and scientists.

When combined together, each methodology can improve your productivity by a factor of TEN!

You will learn:

  • What it takes to discover your personal ikigai (your "true calling" in life), so that every step you take is in harmony with your deepest passions.
  • The secret principle that makes the chore of "habit-forming" easy.
  • How to REALLY focus on your work goals, enhancing your ability to tune out the many distractions of life.
  • How to achieve the coveted "flow state"—the mental plateau of peak performance where creativity thrives.
  • And much more.

It doesn't matter if you're a student, a busy mom, or an entrepreneur. All of these techniques will apply!

Then get the audiobook now, and discover this hidden gem of knowledge that will enable you to turn your dreams into reality.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Must read (must listen)for self-improvement

This is the kind of book you will surely reread, or listen to again, until its lesson becomes your mantra. It shares a practical and realistic approach on goal setting using the 4 principles. Added this to my favourite list.

Excellent and concise

Even though I haven’t finished listening to this book it has already proved to be incredibly useful as a framework for thinking and taking action towards my goals. I’m very grateful to the author for putting together these concepts and presenting them in a clear and concise manner. Also the narrators voice is an added benefit as it makes the content even easier to absorb.

Great Book!

I know I need help making changes and I love the “make little changes that add up to big ones.” I had forgotten that I was listening to this and a friend asked yesterday if I had heard about Kaizen. “Yes. I think I have the book.” I opened Audible today and it was already on chapter 2. 🤦‍♀️ started over and will listen again to make sure I REALLY got it all.

How do you eat an elephant? But which one?

This is how you do it. This is how you get there. How to avoid self sabotage? How to know yourself? Self reflection? Learn from your mistakes? How? Review. Reflect. Slowly but surely. And pat yourself on the back on your way to that goal. Stress free. Pressure free. And oh yeah you're not the only one who wins. Your community does too.

Grateful to author for bringing this

This is one of the greatest book I came across on Audible. The author has nicely explained the concepts of Lingchi, Hansei, Kaizen, and Ikigai. Initially, I purchased this book on how to apply Kaizen in my life, but surprisingly I learned more than what I expected. Must listen for anyone who wants to change lives and achieve goals constantly.

Riveting

I am a Life Coach and was blown away by how much these principles align with what I do in my business. I’m planning on listening to this one again very soon.

solid and engaging

the subject matter is solid, and the information was condensed enough to keep me engaged. I only wish there were more guided exercises for each of the four core concepts.
