The Side Hustle is for people who want or need to earn some extra money outside of their day jobs. That’s how I got started down this entrepreneurial path, and it’s the best choice I ever made. You’re willing to work for it because your future is worth working for. But your time is limited, and you may not know where to start. There are a million and one ways to “make money online”, and everyone wants to sell you their “proven system for internet riches”. It’s hard to tell what’s a scam and what’s legit.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Kept holding out for some wisdom… didn’t find any
- By M Gypsy on 07-08-2023
Publisher's Summary
Discover the Japanese secret to unlocking your purpose, productivity, and passion in life!
- Are you struggling to find your "true calling," feeling adrift without a clear sense of direction?
- Does procrastination or a lack of motivation prevent you from accomplishing your goals?
- Has your growth been stunted by self-doubt or a fear of failure?
Indeed, failure is the unfortunate result of most endeavors. Eighty percent of New Year's Resolutions fail by February. For many people, surrender feels like the easiest option.
But what if I told you that the Japanese have found a solution to your goal-achievement problems?
In this audiobook, we'll reveal three concepts from the east:
- Ikigai - A strategy to discover one's purpose, meaning, and "true calling" in life.
- Hansei - The ancient art of honest self-reflection.
- Kaizen - An incrementalist approach to goal achievement developed by Japanese engineers and scientists.
When combined together, each methodology can improve your productivity by a factor of TEN!
You will learn:
- What it takes to discover your personal ikigai (your "true calling" in life), so that every step you take is in harmony with your deepest passions.
- The secret principle that makes the chore of "habit-forming" easy.
- How to REALLY focus on your work goals, enhancing your ability to tune out the many distractions of life.
- How to achieve the coveted "flow state"—the mental plateau of peak performance where creativity thrives.
- And much more.
It doesn't matter if you're a student, a busy mom, or an entrepreneur. All of these techniques will apply!
Ready to learn more?
Then get the audiobook now, and discover this hidden gem of knowledge that will enable you to turn your dreams into reality.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great content, narrator’s tone could be improved
I liked the content, using practical examples. The integration of the 4 concepts into a workable framework is interesting for personal growth. I will aim to apply it.
My only disappointment is the narrator’s voice and tone which I found a bit monotonous and could be more engaging.
