Publisher's summary

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!

Fantastic Book!

I loved the entire book! Kaizen and Ikigai is my new way of life! I can’t wait to read it a few more times! ❤️

Must read (must listen)for self-improvement

This is the kind of book you will surely reread, or listen to again, until its lesson becomes your mantra. It shares a practical and realistic approach on goal setting using the 4 principles. Added this to my favourite list.

Excellent and concise

Even though I haven’t finished listening to this book it has already proved to be incredibly useful as a framework for thinking and taking action towards my goals. I’m very grateful to the author for putting together these concepts and presenting them in a clear and concise manner. Also the narrators voice is an added benefit as it makes the content even easier to absorb.

Great and Just in time for me

Grear for anyone struggling with setting and achieving goals. Very well written book and superb audiobook. I thank the author very much.

Great Book!

I know I need help making changes and I love the “make little changes that add up to big ones.” I had forgotten that I was listening to this and a friend asked yesterday if I had heard about Kaizen. “Yes. I think I have the book.” I opened Audible today and it was already on chapter 2. 🤦‍♀️ started over and will listen again to make sure I REALLY got it all.

The help I needed.

Simply listening to this book has motivated me to follow through on the goals I have been dreaming about, I talk and dream about the things I want to accomplish but have never really have been in any type of control. Now I have an idea on what I can do to steer my ship. Such a simple concept. Thank you.

Good in General Terms

Good content
The voice of the narrator is monotone.
Pausing and speaking changing rythims should help

Enjoyed the audiobook!

Interesting audiobook with great information. I knew of Ikigai but this book helped me understand what it meant. I would recommend this to a friend.

Very Motivating

Will get you motivated to make a plan to accomplish your goals! Since you have to know about to topic somewhat to find a book like this it is interesting and very helpful if you have trouble getting started with things.

A Good Introduction to the Four Different Concepts

I liked how the concepts were introduced and presented; However, I felt chapters 9 and 10 were unnecessary.
