    Thought-provoking, heartfelt, and culturally rigorous examination of ikigai
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 August 2022*

Full disclosure: The author of this book is a friend, and I'm a member of his Ikigai Tribe community of coaches. However, I am not being paid for this review and would not publicly recommend his book if I didn't genuinely think it was an interesting and helpful read -- which I do! I read the book after already having spent several weeks making my way through Nick's Ikigai coach training, but still learned new things not covered in his course; that's how much breadth and depth there is to Nick's knowledge of ikigai and its context.I admire how extensively Nick has researched ikigai. He has left no stone unturned, scouring the literature for scholarly and lay explorations (some of which he personally translated from the original Japanese); interviewing friends, family, and researchers in Japan and part of the Japanese diaspora; and talking with experts on related topics (including Japanese calligraphy, pottery-making, and business).What results is a thorough and multifaceted exploration of what ikigai means in Japan -- and what it can mean to people elsewhere. Nick doesn't aggrandise ikigai and promise that it will change your world, but, in sharing stories from his own interactions with this concept, he does show how it has changed *his* world. These autobiographical touches speak to a deeper truth about the power of reflection and mindful living.As a teacher, I often mention ikigai when discussing reflection and contemplative practice. My students regularly ask for further reading to help them dive deeper into the topic. I am so pleased that I am now able to point them towards Nick's book, which provides a much more nuanced treatment of ikigai than I can manage in a single class. In addition to this depth, it is also full of fascinating tidbits -- etymologies, descriptions of Japanese traditions and practices, reflective prompts, and practical advice for increasing your ikigai-kan.Whether you're interested in Japanese culture, philosophy, reflective practice, personal transformation, or some combination of the above, this is a book well worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Insightful and Powerful
  

*by D***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2022*

Nicholas Kemp has been able to articulate a fresh perspective on Ikigai.Far too often, the West is forced a commonly-incorrect perspective of Ikigai through articles and online memes which are shared through social media - however Kemp takes us back to the heart of Japan and seamlessly articulates what it means to experience Ikigai.They use contemporary research, literature, and their own experiences built up over time to provide enough detail for even those new to the subject to fully engage with this body of work.Looking forward to revisiting this book a second time as well as further works from Kemp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An enriching read
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2022*

This book is a thorough and multi-faceted take on a commonly misunderstood concept- Ikigai...Nick Kemp comprehensively breaks down and reviews Ikigai from both his own perspective, and also through the lens of a number of experts...the end result is a vivid depiction of an absorbing topic. This book invites you to live your life with Ikigai-kan, and feel all the better for it.
