About this listen
Discover the Japanese secret to unlocking your purpose, productivity, and passion in life!
- Are you struggling to find your "true calling," feeling adrift without a clear sense of direction?
- Does procrastination or a lack of motivation prevent you from accomplishing your goals?
- Has your growth been stunted by self-doubt or a fear of failure?
Indeed, failure is the unfortunate result of most endeavors. Eighty percent of New Year's Resolutions fail by February. For many people, surrender feels like the easiest option.
But what if I told you that the Japanese have found a solution to your goal-achievement problems?
In this audiobook, we'll reveal three concepts from the east:
- Ikigai - A strategy to discover one's purpose, meaning, and "true calling" in life.
- Hansei - The ancient art of honest self-reflection.
- Kaizen - An incrementalist approach to goal achievement developed by Japanese engineers and scientists.
When combined together, each methodology can improve your productivity by a factor of TEN!
You will learn:
- What it takes to discover your personal ikigai (your "true calling" in life), so that every step you take is in harmony with your deepest passions.
- The secret principle that makes the chore of "habit-forming" easy.
- How to REALLY focus on your work goals, enhancing your ability to tune out the many distractions of life.
- How to achieve the coveted "flow state"—the mental plateau of peak performance where creativity thrives.
- And much more.
It doesn't matter if you're a student, a busy mom, or an entrepreneur. All of these techniques will apply!
Ready to learn more?
Then get the audiobook now, and discover this hidden gem of knowledge that will enable you to turn your dreams into reality.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Story
Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever - an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie (pronounced itchy-GO itchy-A). Often spoken in Japan when greeting someone or saying goodbye, to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a 16th-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or "ceremony of attention", whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it. The notion that there are universes within particles, or that particles are conscious, is ascientific, as is the hypothesis that our universe is a computer simulation. On the other hand, the idea that the universe itself is conscious is difficult to rule out entirely.

Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

Good content. Poor flow.
This book covers some great material and useful examples; however, the performance is severely lacking. I found the audiobook struggled to keep my attention in many places because the narrator has a very monotonous voice and a terrible flow of diction. to the author: your future audible titles would benefit from a narrator with more dynamics and a better use of pauses when new segments/paragraphs begin/end.
