Finding your Ikigai - your reason for being - sounds beautiful in theory, but living it out in real life can feel impossible.
In Ikigai: Easier Said Than Done (But I'll Show You How), Forbes takes the ancient Japanese concept of Ikigai and makes it practical, relatable, and achievable. This isn't just another feel-good philosophy book - it's a step-by-step guide to discovering what truly lights you up and designing your life around it.
Through a mix of science, storytelling, and guided exercises, you'll learn how to:
Find the overlap between what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for
Quiet the noise of outside expectations and tune into what matters most to you
Identify what's been holding you back from living your purpose
Build small, actionable steps that bring you closer to your ikigai every day
This book doesn't just tell you to "find your purpose." It shows you how - with practical tools that fit into your real life.
If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than going through the motions, this is your invitation to stop searching and start living.
