About this listen

Find your purpose. Live with intention. Discover your Ikigai.

In a world overwhelmed by busyness and burnout, Ikigai for Beginners offers a refreshing, soul-centered roadmap to a more meaningful life.

Rooted in timeless Japanese wisdom and brought to life with real-world practicality, this beginner-friendly guide reveals how to align your passions, talents, values, and livelihood—so you can finally feel whole, not just productive.

Author Aiko Sato walks you through the four essential pillars of ikigai—what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for—and shows how they come together to form a life worth waking up for.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Simple explanations of key ikigai principles
  • Reflection exercises to uncover your inner compass
  • Stories of people living their purpose—in big and small ways
  • A 30-day journaling plan to help you integrate ikigai into your life

Whether you’re at a crossroads in your career, seeking deeper meaning in your day-to-day, or simply curious about the Japanese approach to fulfillment, Ikigai for Beginners is your invitation to stop drifting—and start living.

Because the world doesn’t need more hustle. It needs more heart.
