About this listen
Uncovering ancient longevity secrets: Embrace ikigai and kaizen and radiate happiness - how to find your purpose and fulfill it
Have you noticed how youthful Japanese people look? Do you want to discover their secret and live a long a happy life? Are you looking to fill your days with joy and find meaning and purpose for living?
The wise people of Japan believe that we all have a reason for being. It is our duty to find the value of life, known as Ikigai. As Ikigai explains, to be truly happy, you have to follow your passion and work on it. That is your purpose, and you owe it to yourself to fulfill it. On the other hand, the philosophy of Kaizen refers to constant improvement that one needs to always consider, both at work and home. If you tirelessly work on yourself, you are guaranteed to enjoy a blissful life. Don’t be scared to start the process; if anything, Kaizen teaches us that change and improvement should happen gradually. Once you embrace Ikigai and Kaizen as the ultimate way of life, you will witness a dramatically great change in your overall well-being and state of mind. Only then will you be able to clearly see the universal secret to longevity, happiness, and fulfilled life! If you’re new to these life-changing concepts and you want to take charge of your happiness, don’t look past this book.
Inside, you will find invaluable knowledge and wisdom that will get you where you want to be in life! Here’s a small peak into what you’ll learn about:
- What’s Ikigai and how to start implementing this powerful philosophy into your life;
- The five crucial pillars of Ikigai that offer comfort and the four most important components of Ikigai;
- Where Kaizen originated from and a proven guide to making way for it in your life;
- What the Kaizen philosophy consists of and how these principles can influence your life;
- The four prominent Kaizen methodologies;
- And much more!

Story
Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever - an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie (pronounced itchy-GO itchy-A). Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or "ceremony of attention", whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

It's the most mature and honest guide on how a man can attract women without faking behavior, without lying and without emulating others. A game-changer.
