I suspect this might be AI-written??? I wouldn’t even mind if it weren’t for the fact that it’s so badly edited. It feels like the author just copy-pasted the entire thing together in 15 min without even doing a proper read-through. There’s redundancy throughout the book.

Where this really shows is in the final chapter, which offers a sentence vomit of +200 “tips.” These could’ve easily been condensed, if it weren’t for the sheer number of repeated sentences. I mean, how many ways does one need examples of practice gratitude?

Here’s a small sample:

1 .Practice daily gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal

11. Practice gratitude daily to acknowledge the blessings in your life.

27. Express gratitude towards others for their contributions and support.

37. Practice gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal and reflecting on your blessings daily.

49. Practice gratitude by acknowledging the good things in your life

60. Practice gratitude by expressing appreciation for the people and things in your life.

79. Practice gratitude by expressing appreciation for the blessings in your life.

93. Practice gratitude by acknowledging the positive aspects of your life.

120. Practice gratitude by expressing appreciation for the people and things in your life.

130. Practice gratitude by focusing on the positive aspects of your life.

139. Practice gratitude by acknowledging and appreciating the blessings in your life.

159. Practice gratitude by acknowledging the positive aspects of your life and expressing appreciation.

173. Practice gratitude by expressing appreciation for the people and things in your life.

185. Practice gratitude by focusing on the blessings and abundance in your life.

195. Practice gratitude by expressing appreciation for the people and experiences in your life.

Apparently… 15 times!!! And many of these are basically saying the exact same thing. Embarrassing. The same goes for all the other themes in the +200 tips, like mindfulness, physical activity, etc.

The information itself isn’t bad, but the execution? Extremely poor. There are much better written books out there on the topic of Ikigai.

Honestly, you’re better off starting a conversation with ChatGPT about the Ikigai than reading this e-book.

Interesting. Short.
