Awakening Your Ikigai: How the Japanese Wake Up to Joy and Purpose Every Day by Ken Mogi
3.0
I thought this was more about about Japanese culture than a self-help book. My takeaway of Ikigai was that it was some kind of hobby/interest that could be very small and could either lead or not lead to paid work.
There were a lot of interesting factoids about Japanese culture. What I found most interesting was that most Japanese don't like there jobs(like most Americans right now). I found this very significant that it is coming from a culture that I think of as both having a very strong work ethic and sense of loyalty to the company. I think this growing dislike of paid employment will have a negative economic impact on both cultures.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
