my ikigai 生き甲斐

The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai a reason to jump out of bed each morning. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means our {reason for being}. ' 'Iki' in Japanese means 'life,' and 'gai' describes value or worth. Our ikigai is our life purpose or our bliss.

Inspiring and comforting, this lovely book gave me the life changing tools to uncover my personal ikigai. It helped me learn how to leave urgency behind, find my purpose, how to nurture friendships and throw myself into my passions.

I highly recommend this book especially given the fact in motherhood we hardly get time for ourselves to read or even pause. However, when reading something that brings meaning and joy to every day it is so worth it!
