About this listen

 Find out how to live a long and happy life thanks to the ikigai miracle.

Japanese men's longevity ranks 4th in the world, while Japanese women's ranks 2nd. Perhaps this comes as no surprise when you know that the Japanese understanding of ikigai is embedded in daily life, careers, relationships, and hobbies.

Neuroscientist and bestselling Japanese writer Ken Mogi shares personal insight and scientific research to provide a colourful narrative of Japanese culture and history along the way.

He identifies five key pillars to ikigai:
1: Starting small
2: Releasing yourself
3: Harmony and sustainability
4: The joy of little things
5:Being in the here and now

Find fulfilment, joy and mindfulness in everything you do with the ikigai way.©2017 Ken Mogi (P)2017 Quercus Editions Limited Eastern Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Success

A Meaning for Life

Very nice intro into Ikigai. The narration was superb and the message was thoughtful. Another example of how the Japanese are just better at everything!

Eye opening

A self help book in a sense. It gives a different point if view when looking at life. It's very introspective in addition to a nuanced look into culture you don't get in other ways. An extremely interesting listen if different cultures interest you.
