I found this to be a good introduction to the concept of ikigai, but it lacked in some aspects. I had hoped for there to be more insight into the entire lives of centenarians instead of just a snapshot of their elderly years. I also am left feeling uncertain as to how ikigai can be incorporated into Western society where the culture is so very different and only just warming to these sort of concepts. 

Nonetheless, it was an informative, easy, and thought provoking read.

Hate to have disliked this but it just didn’t draw on ikigai all that much and focussed on a lot of self help bullet point lists, and not all that much actual substance behind it

Nothing I haven't heard before but it's nicely compiled in this book in a concise manner. That last part is mostly exercise instructions which felt a little tedious in audio form but overall it was an okay book.

Such a good read. Especially for people that need some inspiration and a calming narrative.
