Based on the Japanese idea of ikigai, which is the overlap of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs and what you can be paid for, this book adapts the concept for young people trying to work out their place. The authors, writing for teenagers, discuss finding passions, handling anxiety about the future, building habits and choosing studies or work that suits them, using short exercises and examples.
It suits teens who feel pressured about what to do after school, and parents or teachers looking for a gentle, practical conversation starter. Readers get a simple framework for thinking about purpose without having to choose a career right now.
Practical, inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
