How to Ikigai
by Tim Tamashiro
A jazz-singer-turned-broadcaster's cheerful workbook: the four-circle diagram, questions to fill it in, and a half-ikigai idea for people who cannot yet combine all four. It is the Western version done honestly, with exercises.
Read it if…
you want the four-circle model with worksheets.
Skip it if…
you want the Japanese understanding; see Mogi.
Three things you will actually use
- Half an ikigai is a start.
- What you love plus what you are good at is enough for a beginning.
- Purpose is practised, not discovered.
Do this first
Fill in the four circles and find the overlap of any two to start.
Our verdict
Four circles, with worksheets.
