Awakening Your Ikigai: How the Japanese Wake Up to Joy and Purpose Every Day by Ken Mogi

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.75

Apparently the title in the UK is "The Little Book of Ikigai" which frankly would be a lot more appropriate because there's not a lot of "how to" that the title implies. It IS really informative with a lot of insight into Japan and Japanese life but how to adapt that for yourself is pretty vague.

Also a specific note about the audiobook: I had to skip basically an entire chapter that focuses on sumo because goddamn this guy mispronounced pretty much every single sumo term and rikishi's ring name and it was unbearably irritating.
