The Little Book of Ikigai: The Essential Japanese Way to Find Your Purpose in Life by Ken Mogi

4.0

Ikigai is a concept I use when I teach, the content based on the articles I read online. However, I have been quite dissatisfied in my own knowledge of the concept.

Mogi's book provides the reader with an understanding of the term within the Japanese culture. It's written in an easy conversant tone that I was moving through the chapters quickly.

The book however doesn't directly give you a how-to. It doesn't outline a way to discover your ikigai. It speaks of Ikigai, it's five pillars and it's up to the reader to glean from it their own way of finding their ikigai.
