El método Ikigai: Despierta tu verdadera pasión y cumple tus propósitos vitales Reviews

  Okay! No wonder it was too overwhelming for me. It isn't a book to read in one go, as it requires you to sit back and think about so many things. It involves many activities that might help people in many ways. No doubt, both the authors have outdone themselves but in many places, they have also contradicted themselves. Like how when they asked you to go on a digital diet i.e. trying to stay away from any and everything that has a digital screen and on the other hand they also asks you to create notes on your cell phone at some point. Further, from the very starting, they are trying to find an ikigai which in my opinion was a SINGLE ENTITY but a combination of what we love to do, what we can get paid for, what we are good at, and what the world's need. I got to know in the very end chapter of the novel that I was completely wrong. It was indeed 4 different aspects with different entities that are to be entered to in our everyday life.
  
  Moreover, it is not like everything was wrong with the book. There were many concepts like lucid dreaming, lateral thinking, emulating, ganbarimasu, and one of my favorite ‘Pareto- the 80/20 rule’ that made me rethink so many aspects of my own life. All in all, it was a good read except for the end where I got confused due to the lack of understanding of the central element, which is, IKIGAI.

  The Ikigai Journey by Hector Garcia & Francesc Miralles, the duo comes with another addition to their Japanese Secret journey of finding one's Ikigai.
  
  This book is a practical guide to finding happiness and purpose of your life, the Japanese way. So the book does hold some activities that needs to be done as you read the theory for the same.
  
  The book takes you through the future, present and past. We also get to see author's jounrey through Japan and what all they found and learned on their way.
  
  I genuinely felt that few of the techniques were new or maybe were really the Japanese way as the title suggests. But a lot of others were also meant from the same old European or American way, what other self help books tells us.
  
  One take away which I would like to take from this is the Senpai-Kohai relationship which the authors have talked about. Rest all I am yet reading and absorbing the information at my own pace.

  I really wanted to like this book. I was looking forward to the fulfillment of the subtitle promise: a practical guide to finding happiness and purpose the Japanese way. Keywords “the Japanese way”.
  I was expecting to learn how the Japanese find their ikigai, or reason for living, and apply that to my life. Oh translations!
  
  What I found instead was a compendium of every coaching book in the West for making a living with your passion (one of the authors used to be a translator of self-help books). That is, if you know what your passion is. If you don’t know, then, go search into what made you happy in your childhood and do the proposed exercises, which you will find in every other book on the subject. Nothing original.
  
  The key to this book was in the introduction when readers asked them “How can I realize my dream?”, so they set up to compile every coaching cliché to answer that question (“get out of your comfort zone!” “learn time management!”, “do the 80/20 rule!” “don’t multitask!”, “put away your phone!”) with Japanese branding. Every section is preceded by a story about Japan’s culture, but the rest of the content is what you would find in a basic Google search.
  
  Maybe, for someone who has never read a “follow your passion” book, this is a good entry point. That seems to be the audience for this work, and also fans of the authors who turned their books into best sellers.
  
  If I had read the original in Spanish, I would have found the title is actually less misleading. It translates to “The Ikigai Method: Awaken your real passion and achieve your life purpose” and I wouldn't have picked the book in the first place, because that IS a coaching book on following your passion.

  Segundo libro que leo sobre este método: Ikigai. Una forma de organización y de encontrar el método que permite organizar y encontrar el objetivo de tu vida: que se define en estar en paz y tranquilidad contigo mismo y misma. Es un libro rápido de leer y que acompaña con consejos prácticos de la vida japonesa para intentar ordenar y poner objetivos claros dentro de tu vida y desarrollo. Si andas algo perdida o perdida no es una mala lectura, que se puede leer como narración o siguiendo los ejercicios para que se transforme en una lectura de autoayuda. Pasado, presente y futuro al parangón de la vida moderna japonesa.

  he caído en los libros de autoayuda porque me ayudan en el proceso de autoconvicción de que estoy siendo productiva -en el sentido más pérfidamente capitalista-, no me hacen cuestionarme absolutamente nada y son facilísimo de leer !!
  
  además son una trampa estupenda para poder decir a final de año que me he leído los cuarenta libros que tengo en el goodreads challenge, todo es un win-win
  
  (no he descubierto mi verdadera pasión, a lo mejor tendría que salir más a la calle)

  İlk kitapları Ikigai' den sonra bu kitabı okumak da hoşuma gitti. Hayattaki amacınızı (ikigainizi) bulma yolunda farkı yöntemler öneriyor.
  Hepsi uygulanabilir mi, çok emin değilim. Yine de bu kitap sayesinde Japon kültürünün ne kadar derinlikli olduğunu bir kez daha hissettim. Japon felsefeleri ile ilgili daha çok şey okumak gerektiğini düşünüyorum.
  Tavsiye edebileceğim kitaplardan.

  o carte bine structurată, dar în care am regăsit multe idei pe care le-am mai întâlnit și în alte cărți de dezvoltare personală. Mi s-a părut foarte bună ideea de a lăsa spații libere în carte, unde să completezi "exercițiile" lăsate de autori, bazate pe ceea ce explică în acel capitol.

  Mai mult mi-a plăcut primul volum din serie. Fiecare capitol reprezintă o tehnică sau un exercițiu de dezvoltare personală, dar este descris mult prea superficial.
  
  Chiar și așa, mi-am făcut o listă de câteva tehnici pe care să le încerc mai în detaliu.

  Много приятна книжка, която според мен е хубаво да се чете бавно. По 2 листа на ден, колкото да се замислиш над някоя тема. Няма смисъл да се прочете много бързо, не мисля , че ще запомните нещо от нея.

  Тази книга и съветите в нея ми напомнят много на курса, който имах в университета по “бизнес планиране” просто проектът, по който се работи сме самите ние.

  I eagerly bought this little book after loving their first pale blue bound Ikigai book. It is jam packed full of collected wisdom from many writers across the world as well as delving into a lot of Japanese philosophy. It could have been a fabulous and inspiring book.
  
  However, there are three fatal flaws that mean I must give this two stars:
  
  1. It doesn't contain anything that would be recognised as referencing. No bibliography, no footnotes and the barest of in-line referencing that wouldn't pass a junior high school assignment. Horribly the authors borrow photographs and graphics and assign them not to their owners but to a generalised creative commons licence. This is a non-fiction book that owes its heritage to the work of many great thinkers and researchers.
  
  2. It is full of generalisations and sweeping statements. Critical thinkers will recoil in horror at sentence starts like "many studies say.." followed by unsubstantiated and sometimes sensationalist tropes that have been shown to be untrue or at least debated. In a couple of places it verges on racist or at least colonial when it lauds the foresight and commitment of Christopher Columbus in "discovering" the new world.
  
  3. For a book that is full of models used by coaches it is overly judgemental, full of "you should" statements and assumptions about how the reader lives their life. This is a book written from one perspective of the world offering the authors' perspectives, no more. The world of coaching is one where we meet the client "where they are" not where WE want them to be.
  
  This could have been brilliant if executed well. There were moments in this book that gave me pause, and got me to think about my life. I have read almost every primary source they refer to so for me this book was a reminder of great thinking. However, other readers unfamiliar with the primary sources don't have a bibliography or reading guide to assist them to critically consider if the information is for them.
  
  Disappointingly I think many people will love the sugar hit this book gives without knowing if it is the right thing for them.

  Finished reading the book recently. Firstly I tried reading the other Ikigai book and stopped after about 20 pages. I need to maybe get back to the older version and see what that books says.
  
  With that said, I feel this is a good book to read in your 20's. Some of the theories which you come across will be useful in life and some things can be applied directly to your life and they are worth remembering. the books is split into 35 chapters or "train stations" as the authors put it. Its well written, but as we chug along the complete book you see that it loses its lustre as it reaches its end. But the book does has exercises, which if you do sincerely will help you answer some good questions about yourself and open some new thought processes which will help you.
  
  Definitely worth a read.

  Overview
  This book bills itself as a journey through cognitive, psychological, and behavioral frameworks that will “help you discover your Ikigai.” Using the bullet train as the instrument to tell their story, the authors take the readers through stops in three popular Japanese cities:
  
  1. Tokyo - (A journey to the future) represents the Shinkansen effect and other techniques for creating great personal projects and developing the inner discipline to see them through
  2. Kyoto - (A journey through our past) represents exercises for rediscovering where we come from and using our personal experiences as a springboard
  3. Ise - (A journey through our present) represents bringing our past and future together in the eternal present of our lives
  
  I love the fact that the authors focus on the “Shinkansen Effect” and use the bullet train as the focal muse to drive their points forward. The problem is that each stop along the train (actual chapters in the book) are psych concepts that have nothing to do with deepening the concept of Ikigai. There is nothing wrong with borrowing from other authors and experts who have come before you. The problem for me though is that this book is a hodgepodge of psychological and behavioral frameworks that the authors have pulled together “in their pursuit” to describe Ikigai.
  
  
  Why This Book Falls A Bit Short
  Look at the following diagram:
  
  
  
  
  When you investigate the following diagram you get a pretty good sense of what your Ikigai is: The intersection of the answer to the following four questions:
  1. What I can be PAID FOR
  2. What the world NEEDS
  3. What I LOVE
  4. What I am GOOD AT
  
  After going through the 35 stations (chapters) within this book, it feels more like a goal-setting exercise than a book about deepening/finding the answers to the four aforementioned questions. To give a concrete example, station #26 is entitled “Flow by drawing the Enso circle.”
  
  Serious question here… How is drawing an Enso circle going to help me? How is it going to help me gain “inner harmony?” How is serendipity part of a strategy to find one’s Ikigai? But most importantly, how does it help me answer one of the four questions above?
  
  This is my slight angst with this book. It throws together a lot of different Japanese customers and psychological hacks in an attempt to be a guide toward answering the four questions that drive you forward in your search for your Ikigai. But with a critical lens, one can see that it is in fact just a collection of good psych frameworks.
  
  What I Will Do Differently As A Result of Reading This Book?
  • Re-introduce a system (quarterly check-ins in EOS speak) to review employees’ objectives and tasks on a quarterly basis
  
  • Simplify all goals because simple goals lead to great achievements
  
  • Remember mood contagion – at the end of the day, outbursts of negativity end up poisoning everyone
  
  • If you don’t do this yet, you should realize that other people are your mirror and so the help and recognition you give them is something you also give to yourself
  
  • I will add a daily exercise to write some sentences about my life, especially the emotions within it.
  
  • For example, answering simple questions like:
  1. What have I learned after this bad experience?
  2. What changes do I need to carry out in my life for other kinds of things to happen to me?
  
  • I will also embrace my “inner poet” and write more haiku about my life
  
  • I used to joke that “impatience is my virtue” but after reading this book I realize that patience with persistence is a much “easier way” to live
  
  • I will be patient and allow things to happen in their own good time, without forcing them
  
  • Run everything I say and do through the filter of the three monkeys
  1. Filter 1 – is what you are saying or doing TRUE
  2. Filter 2 – is what you are saying or doing KIND
  3. Filter 3 – is what you are saying or doing NECESSARY
  4. If what you want to say is neither truthful, kind, nor necessary, it would be best to not say it
  5. According to Socrates’s three filters, before telling someone anything that might have an emotional effect, we have to check how TRUTHFUL, KIND, and NECESSARY it is
  
  Final Thoughts
  This is basically a book about a collection of self-improvement methods framed as a “journey towards a deeper understanding of Ikigai.” This is a lesser version of
  Designing Your Life.
  
  Like most self-improvement books there are some helpful frameworks within that I will employ in my day-to-day life. But in aggregate, this book fails to deliver real tangible value in my opinion other than being a repository for a mix of psych/behavioral frameworks.
  
  The authors never really develop a deeper understanding of what Ikigai is and how to find or develop your own. Often within the chapters of this book, they make comments like “One thing that everyone with a clearly defined Ikigai has in common …” or “This is why it is so important to find and pursue our Ikigai…” but rarely clearly define what Ikigai is or how you find it.

  Το πρόβλημα που έχω συνήθως με τέτοιου είδους βιβλία είναι πως είναι γεμάτα αερολογιες και γενικότητες που δίνουν την εντύπωση πως βοηθούν ενώ στην πραγματικότητα δεν κάνουν και πολλά. Αυτό το βιβλίο νομίζω πέτυχε μια πολύ καλή ισορροπία προσφέροντας απτές, πραγματικές συμβουλές τις οποίες όμως μπορεί να τις αξιοποιήσει ο οποιοσδήποτε. Εκτείνεται σε μια μεγάλη γκάμα τομέων της ζωής μας βοηθώντας συνολικά τόσο για να βρει κάποιος τον σκοπό του όσο και για να είναι πιο ευτυχισμένος, γεμάτος και παραγωγικός.

  Même si le ton est très positif, qu’il est rempli de bons conseils et les écrivains me sont sympathiques en lisant ce livre, il n’aide pas à trouver son Ikigai. Je vous conseille sans hésitation celui de Bettina Lemke (Le Livre de l’Ikigai - le secret du bonheur), qui m’a REELLEMENT aidée à trouver mon Ikigai, qui a débloqué énormément de sujets pour moi. Celui-ci est sympathique, mais ne remplit pas l’objectif proposé

  Базирана действително на японския опит е поредната книга, която разказва за техники за самоус��вършенстване. Минусът на такива книги е, че те няма да свършат работата вместо нас, но ако стъпим дори и един сантиметър встрани от зоната си на комфорт, запомним само една техника и я приложим, значи си е заслужавало да се отдели време на тази книга. Така и в тази - никога не спирай да работиш - дали работа, дали развиване на нещо ново. Никога, никога.

  വളരെ പ്രശസ്തമായ ഒരു സെൽഫ് ഹെൽപ് പുസ്തകമാണ് ഇക്കിഗായ്. ഇക്കി എന്നാൽ ജീവൻ ജീവിതം. ഗായ് എന്നാൽ മൂല്യം നൽകുന്നത്. അതിനാൽ മൂല്യമുള്ള ജീവിതം നൽകുന്നത് എന്നതാണ് ഇക്കിഗായ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്. എല്ലാ മനുഷ്യരുടെ ഉള്ളിലും ഒരു ഇക്കിഗായ് ഉണ്ട് എന്ന് ജപ്പാൻകാർ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു. നാം അത് അറിയാതെ പോകുന്നു; നാം തന്നെ അത് കണ്ടെത്തണം.
  
  ഭാവി, ഭൂതം, വർത്തമാനം എന്നീ മൂന്ന് കാലങ്ങളായി തരംതിരിച്ചാണ് ഈ കൃതിയുടെ രചന. ഭാവി ടോക്യോ നഗരത്തിൽ നിന്നു ബുള്ളറ്റ് ട്രെയിനിൽ തുടങ്ങി, ഭൂതകാലം ക്യോട്ടോ പ്രദേശത്ത് കൂടിയും, പിന്നീട് വർത്തമാന കാലം 2000 വർഷം പഴക്കമുള്ള ഉള്ള ഇസെ ദേവാലയത്തിൽ കൂടി കടന്നുപോകുന്നു.
  
  
  ജീവിതത്തിലെ ലക്ഷ്യത്തിലെത്താൻ കഠിനമായ അധ്വാനം വേണമെന്ന് തന്നെയാണ് ഈ പുസ്തകം പറയുന്നത്. അതിനു വേണ്ടിയുള്ള ശ്രമങ്ങളാണ് ഒരു അധ്യായത്തിലും വിവരിക്കുന്നത്. ജീവിതത്തിൽ വേണ്ടതും വേണ്ടാത്തതുമായ കാര്യങ്ങളെ തരംതിരിച്ച് വേണ്ട കാര്യങ്ങൾക്ക് കൂടുതൽ പ്രാധാന്യം കൊടുക്കാൻ ആണ്  ഗ്രന്ഥകർത്താവ് പറയു���്നത്. ജീവിതത്തിൽ സമയം അനാവശ്യമായി നഷ്ടപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതും ലക്ഷ്യത്തിലെത്താൻ വൈകുന്നതിന് കാരണം ആകുന്നു.
  
  ലേഖകന്റെ ഒപ്പം 35 സ്റ്റേഷനുകളിലൂടെ ഒരുമിച്ച് യാത്ര ചെയ്തു കഴിഞ്ഞു, ജീവിത ലക്ഷ്യങ്ങളെ കണ്ടുപിടിക്കാനും ബലപ്പെടുത്താനും ഉൾക്കൊള്ളാനും സഹായിക്കുന്ന പ്രായോഗിക ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ ഓരോ സ്റ്റേഷനിൽ നിന്നും വാങ്ങി. 35 വിദ്യകൾ മനസ്സിലാക്കി പുസ്തകം അടച്ചു വെക്കുമ്പോൾ സാഹസിക യാത്ര ആരംഭിക്കുന്നു.
  
  "ഈ നിമിഷം സന്തോഷമായിരിക്കു. അത് ധാരാളമാണ്. ഈ ഓരോ നിമിഷങ്ങളാണ് നമുക്ക് വേണ്ടത്, അതിൽ അധികം വേണ്ട." - മദർ തെരേസ
  
  Serendipity - യാദൃശ്ചിക ഭാഗ്യം
  
  ഈ പുസ്തകം നല്ലൊരു അനുഭവമാണ്. പക്ഷേ ഇതിൽ കുറെ ആക്ടിവിറ്റീസ് പറയുന്നുണ്ട്. അതെല്ലാം സ്റ്റെപ്പ് ബൈ സ്റ്റെപ് ചെയ്താലേ അതിൻറെ benefit ഉണ്ടാവു.

  Tenía el libro ojeado y empezado desde el año pasado pero no me había puesto más en serio a leerlo. La verdad es que en sí es un libro interesante y que se lee rápido. Otra cosa es que si quieres hacer las actividades que te va indicando necesites tu tiempo, pero eso ya entraría en releer el libro.
  
  En mi opinión es mejor leérselo entero para ver todo el panorama completo y ya luego ir haciendo las actividades (o no) con calma y cuando quieras, aunque he leído opiniones de gente que iba haciendo los ejercicios en su mente mientras leía, que no es mala idea, pero si quieres profundizar mejor en papel!
  
  En cuanto al fondo del libro, el concepto es bueno y para quién le gusten este tipo de libros, está bien; ahora, como con todo, si hay algo que no resuena contigo al leerlo ignóralo o quédate con lo que te sirva a ti!
  
  En resumen, ¿recomiendo? Sí, pero tampoco diré que me ha cambiado la vida (aunque tiene ideas buenas)📚

  This book provided me with actionable insights toward becoming increasingly fulfilled, motivated and persistent in achieving what i desire. It utilises various models of thinking and approaches to achieve goals in a mindful manner, with a heavy emphasis on incremental changes, rather than short term drastic decisions. The utilisation of successful people’s thoughts, impactful books and Japanese cultural wisdom was different, but effective. Ultimately this book resonated with me from my time in Japan and made me reminisce of my time on a bullet train, seeing Mt Fuji, being in Tokyo and going to Kyoto. This was a gift from a friend and i thoroughly enjoyed it.

  Tremendamente inspirador. Perfecto para estimular el flujo de la creatividad. Lo empecé por la mitad, una decisión muy acertada. Al ser una escritora de haikus y otros poemas, cuyo Ikigai es comunicar y expresar amor, este libro me ha fascinado, conmovido y ayudado a dar un nombre y explicar lo que siento de forma innata. Ya estoy poniendo en práctica las sendas que los autores describen.
  Si lo tuviera en papel, escribiría notas en los márgenes.
  Cinco estrellas muy merecidas. ¡Gracias por escribirlo!
