Produktbeschreibung

THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER

Find purpose, meaning and joy in your work and life

We all have an ikigai. It's the Japanese word for 'a reason to live' or 'a reason to jump out of bed in the morning'. The place where your needs, ambitions, skills and satisfaction meet. A place of balance.

This book will help you unlock what your ikigai is and equip you to change your life. There is a passion inside you - a unique talent that gives you purpose and makes you the perfect candidate for something. All you have to do is discover and live it.

Do that, and you can make every single day of your life joyful and meaningful.
