About this listen

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.

Inch by inch- it’s a Synch

As a student and practitioner of goalsetting for over 30 years.
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

Anthony gave me some comfort in the methods I’ve been using and some simple tools to make my journey a little bit simpler

Review

The lessons in this book are excellent and well explained.
to be honest though, the narrator read with quite a biring voice, with little inflexion or expression.

The easiest life changing read ever

This book is a must read for anyone into goal planning and vision planning.
As the book states everyday is filled with goals so why not make the most of them by planning effectively.
I have been searching for my Ikigai and pursuing the teaching of vision board workshops, Kaizen has explained to me why I haven’t fully understood the whole process and why it kept overwhelming me.
This book must be a part of any planners library and has inspired me to purchase a hard copy to work with.
It has also prompted and inspired me to study and master Kaizen.
🙏🏻
