The book felt very rushed and haphazard. There are nuggets of valuable information but none of the it really seems to connect or flow together and a lot of the chapters seem like filler. Having read Ikigai, and enjoyed the loving way the book was crafted, Ichigo Ichie, seems like a half hearted throwing together of a few key terms and then anecdotal evidence from a very strange amalgamation of people.

Positive insight into the Japanese way of thinking. I'm looking forward to reading Ikigai!!

This rating is not meant to be a reflection of the ichigo ichie practice, because from what I gleaned it is a beautiful practice and I would like to learn more about it. Unfortunately, this book jumps from one thing to the next without going into depth and relies on western pop culture to help bridge the gaps. That alone would have earned it a three star rating however I was flabbergasted when it made the claim that children with developmental disabilities (including autism) just needed more physical affection and that could cure it! That is just not true and actively harmful! Also the author's really don't understand Einstein's relativity and clearly shouldn't be talking about it and passing it as fact. Those were the two pieces that I knew were 100% wrong and I wonder how many other tidbits were given the same treatment, stretched to fit the narrative.

This wasn’t as good as the other book about Ikigai. I felt the authors were repeating themselves multiple times throughout the book. But still it was great and I loved it!

"The meaning of ichigo ichie is something like this: What we are experiencing right now will never happen again. And therefore, we must value each moment like a beautiful treasure."
