Ikigai is a Japanese phenomenon commonly understood as "your reason to get up in the morning." Ikigai can be small moments: the morning air, a cup of coffee, a compliment. It can also be deep convictions: a fulfilling job, lasting friendships, balanced health. Whether big or small, your ikigai is the path to success and happiness in your own life.
Author Ken Mogi introduces five pillars of ikigai to help you make the most of each day and become your most authentic self:
1. starting small—focus on the details
2. releasing yourself—accept who you are
3. harmony and sustainability—rely on others
4. the joy of little things—appreciate sensory pleasure
5. being in the here and now—find your flow.
Weaving together insights from Japanese history, philosophy, and modern culture, plus stories from renowned sushi chef Jiro Ono, anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, and others, Mogi skillfully shows the way to awaken your ikigai.

      A plethora of Japanese philosophy, history, and culture are revealed in this prescription on living life with ikigai--a Japanese concept that encapsulates living life with purpose and pleasure. Narrator Matt Addis conveys a sense of wonder as he reveals examples on how ikigai is deeply immersed in Japanese life. Despite instances when overmodulation distorts some words, Addis's reading clearly defines the Five Pillars--steps that provide the foundation for ikigai to flourish. There are only a few mispronunciations as Addis navigates the abundance of Japanese names and words in this journey through the nation's culture, traditions, and contemporary mores. Happily, these are relatively easily overlooked, given the delight Addis infuses into his narration. M.F. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
