Maybe some of the advice is a bit overrated but there are some real gems in here. I feel like it's a self development 101. And i kinda feel the hope and kindness of the writers. They take advice from different self help books. Very nice. I don't regret reading this and i would recommend it to other ppl

Almost DNF but still persevered. Interesting concepts but lacks depth, and written rather clunkily.

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 in form of a journey through the past, present, and future. It is, however, a captivating guide with numerous activities for readers.

The Ikigai Journey shares 35 different stations with practical exercises for reaching our chosen destination, all the while nurturing and bringing out the happiness that lies within us.

According to me, the most influential statement of this book: pursuing your passion and developing it to be shared with others is the greatest objective a human being can hope to achieve in the future.

Recommended to everyone that wants to transform their dream into reality and live a life worth remembering.

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 Japan and made me reminisce of my time on a bullet train, seeing Mt Fuji, being in Tokyo and going to Kyoto. This was a gift from a friend and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
