REVIEW:  

This is my first book which I’ve read. Why it is my first book – because it I want to know the word -IKIGAI, then I read it. It is nice book. It gives you insight to live a happy life. Also that a life is happy when you are flowing with the state of flow, instead achieving temporary thing.

And start living your happy life. I know this materialistic world won’t make you happy when you are poor In money, power. But still we can live a happy life through our consciousness, beliefs, spirituality. So I can tell you that go ahead for reading this book, for beginners you can read it in 18-20 days if you read 10 pages a day. So why are you waiting for? Have a taste of this book too. I can tell after reading this book you’ll learn more, and live a good life.
