*Marie 'KonMari' Kondo*
I love [this] book… I read it and it’s bewitched me ever since. I’m
spellbound
A refreshingly simple recipe for happiness... According to the
Japanese, everyone has an ikigai. It means your purpose – the
reason you get up in the morning. The thing that fires you up and
keeps you busy. Your raison d'être.
*Stylist*
Curl up on the sofa with this and enjoy an insight into Japanese
culture while picking up some self-care tips you may not have
considered before... Ikigai offers an insight into a gentle yet
focused way of life built around a sense of purpose.
*Independent*
Ikigai gently unlocks simple secrets we can all use to live long,
meaningful, happy lives. Science-based studies weave beautifully
into honest, straight-talking conversation you won’t be able to put
down. Warm, patient, and kind, this book pulls you gently along
your own journey rather than pushing you from behind.
[The] Japanese art of ikigai ... Its basic message is about
"authentic living". Practitioners must fill in overlapping circles
that cover motivation, fulfilment, what they earn and what improves
their life. The answer at the centre will be the key to a happy and
long life.
*Guardian*
If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing
something - and doing it with supreme focus and joy.
*New York Post*
