BATB score: 1.25/10
Japanese authors are so wordy. Anecdotes are so minute. Sentence structure are so dull.
This book consist of 85% water down the drain, 10% potential something but really nothing, 5% real gist.
The concept of 'ikigai' or the reason to get up in the morning is definitely there but the process how to get to your 'ikigai'... honestly, we would never know.
Best for: the cover and the summarised content on the back
P.S. How big should my sample size be (Marie Kondo and now this IKIGAI dude) for me to not be racist and discriminating towards Japanese authors when I say 'good bye Jap authors/books your content is mushy and a waste of time' kindly (always say things kindly)?
