The Book of Ikigai

I'm curious whether Ken Mogi drew from personal experience, interviews, or historical texts to shape his perspective on ikigai. It made me wonder how much of the book is based on research versus personal insight.

The ideas about purpose and happiness felt very relatable, and I kept thinking about how to apply some of these principles in daily life. Has anyone tried integrating these concepts into their routines?

It felt like a gentle introduction to Japanese philosophy, but I also appreciated the actionable tips. I'm curious whether readers from different backgrounds found it accessible and useful.
