Review of 'Ikigai, little book of hygge and lagom the swedish art of balanced living 3 books collection setHéctor García' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
A disappointing uncritical self-help book that is full of platitudes and exoticism of Japan. A book titled Ikigai but is really a book about longevity. A long life doesn't necessarily mean a meaningful one. There is a complete chapter where the authors ask centenarians what is their secret for living beyond 100 years and the answer is the same; there is no secret. The book ends with saying that you have to find your Ikigai for yourself.
