Finding your ikigai—the thing that makes you jump out of bed in the morning—is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. The concept of ikigai is closely linked to the idea of finding one's passion in life. If you want to live a life of meaning and passion, you’ll have to start by facing your deepest fears and desiring a life worth living. If you don’t have this desire, your life becomes a journey of self-improvement with nothing else to define you. In this audiobook, you will learn what Ikigai is all about.

According to the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai, the existence of each of us has a purpose, a real mission that must be pursued to find maximum gratification in our days. It is no coincidence that anyone who has discovered what their purpose is is happier, more satisfied, energetic, and able to face any difficulty that fate puts before them. Living life according to our ikigai leads to enormous benefits in personal and work relationships, and it allows us to act as fulfilled and successful people full of joy in carrying out our projects.
