This book provided me with actionable insights toward becoming increasingly fulfilled, motivated and persistent in achieving what i desire. It utilises various models of thinking and approaches to achieve goals in a mindful manner, with a heavy emphasis on incremental changes, rather than short term drastic decisions. The utilisation of successful people’s thoughts, impactful books and Japanese cultural wisdom was different, but effective. Ultimately this book resonated with me from my time in J...

There is no universal formula for complete happiness, because everyone adds or removes their own constants and variables. But sometimes it takes a word, a sentence or a book to unlock the answer to what you need, what you want to change or improve ...Books like this help us to cultivate, to become better, to work on our shortcomings, to develop our potential, to be more patient, more persistent, to gain the courage to follow the path we want, to leave our zone of comfort and discover what makes
Interesting. Gives much insight of the japanese culture
The Ikigai Journey by Hector Garcia & Francesc Miralles, the duo comes with another addition to their Japanese Secret journey of finding one's Ikigai.This book is a practical guide to finding happiness and purpose of your life, the Japanese way. So the book does hold some activities that needs to be done as you read the theory for the same.The book takes you through the future, present and past. We also get to see author's jounrey through Japan and what all they found and learned on their way.I
Reading this book was like a journey from the future to the present. A great book with amazing insights.
I really wanted to like this book. I was looking forward to the fulfillment of the subtitle promise: a practical guide to finding happiness and purpose the Japanese way. Keywords “the Japanese way”.I was expecting to learn how the Japanese find their ikigai, or reason for living, and apply that to my life. Oh translations!What I found instead was a compendium of every coaching book in the West for making a living with your passion (one of the authors used to be a translator of self-help books).
Okay! No wonder it was too overwhelming for me. It isn't a book to read in one go, as it requires you to sit back and think about so many things. It involves many activities that might help people in many ways. No doubt, both the authors have outdone themselves but in many places, they have also contradicted themselves. Like how when they asked you to go on a digital diet i.e. trying to stay away from any and everything that has a digital screen and on the other hand they also asks you to create...
Great way to start a year. Indeed purposeful and promising start.
Just love it! What can be more important then finding your ikigai?! Dealing with it...This book is written as a textbook "How to manage yourself". The deep meaning of life is hidden between the words. It let you search for the meaning of the life and shows the importance of it. During reading the book I understood how happy I am to find my ikigai 'my writing', and gave me strength to follow my way.
I read this book in my native language (Turkish). I enjoyed the book. It is a fast read and makes me wonder more about the issue. I am hoping to apply some of the technics in my life as well. Bought the second book and looking forward to read it too.
I have not read any of the other Ikigai books. Hence I would not be able to comment on repeatitions in the book. This book if read in right earnest can become a life changer. It has many techniques which can help you find your ikigai. I am surely adopting a few of those from today itself. I am going to keep this book next to my work station so that I can refer to it whenever I think I am faltering.The techniques are simple with examples and relatable. It is not just another self help book but th...
I eagerly bought this little book after loving their first pale blue bound Ikigai book. It is jam packed full of collected wisdom from many writers across the world as well as delving into a lot of Japanese philosophy. It could have been a fabulous and inspiring book.However, there are three fatal flaws that mean I must give this two stars:1. It doesn't contain anything that would be recognised as referencing. No bibliography, no footnotes and the barest of in-line referencing that wouldn't pass...
What is January about if it isn't preparing to emerge improved out of the doldrums of the dying year and that necessary period of hibernation that sets in every winter? And how better to prepare than by reading something to inspire new growth ... maybe a book of poems or, more likely, a self-help book like The Ikigai Journey. By the way, the word "journey" always draws me in.The authors frame their advice on the metaphor of a journey by train, station by station, from Tokyo to Kyoto and on to Is...
There is no all-inclusive recipe for complete bliss since everybody adds or eliminates their constants and factors. However, some of the time it takes a word, a sentence, or a book to open the response to what we want, what we need to change or improve. Books like “Ikigai” assist us with developing, to turn out to be better, to chip away our deficiencies, to foster our latent capacity, to be more understanding, more constant, to acquire the fortitude to follow the way we need, to leave our zone
The Ikigai Journey by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles is the sequel to the bestselling book Ikigai. Their first book left me with ambiguousness, as it lacked practical implementations of ikigai. Fortunately, this book is a practical guide to finding, pursuing, and living your ikigai. This book provides a door for delving into the Japanese philosophy of living a simple and sophisticated life rich in your ikigai. This is a persuasively written book, with an impressive way of articulating ideas...
The Ikigai Journey is a self help book which expands up an original book written by the two authors. It's a collection of 35 short chapters which detail how you can go find your ikigai or purpose in life.It is full of actionable advice with activities to help you to find your individual life purpose, but I think that most people would be aware of the advice offered. The missing link in my view is it lacks a call to action; ultimately at the end I didn't feel motivated to make any changes.The key...
Finished reading the book recently. Firstly I tried reading the other Ikigai book and stopped after about 20 pages. I need to maybe get back to the older version and see what that books says. With that said, I feel this is a good book to read in your 20's. Some of the theories which you come across will be useful in life and some things can be applied directly to your life and they are worth remembering. the books is split into 35 chapters or "train stations" as the authors put it. Its well writ...
Absolutely awesome! I did nearly every exercise. Especially at the beginning of the year and to (re)find the purpose of yourself and/or you company it‘s very helpful! Definitely will recommend this book to friends & colleagues :)
