What gives your life meaning, and how can you make more room for it every day?

The Japanese concept of ikigai is often associated with finding purpose, fulfillment, and a reason to look forward to each day. Rather than searching for one perfect answer to life's biggest questions, ikigai encourages you to explore the people, activities, interests, and goals that make your life meaningful.

In Ikigai and the Art of Keeping Your Dreams Alive, Maya Thoresen introduces the philosophy of ikigai and offers practical exercises to help you reflect on what matters most to you.

In this audiobook, you'll discover how to:

• Understand the meaning and principles of ikigai
• Explore what gives your life purpose and fulfillment
• Identify the interests and activities that bring you joy
• Reflect on your priorities, values, and long-term goals
• Make more room for meaningful experiences in everyday life
• Navigate periods of uncertainty, change, and lack of direction
• Use guided exercises to gain greater clarity about the life you want to create

Each chapter encourages reflection, helping you move beyond simply learning about ikigai and begin considering how its principles might apply to your own life.

Whether you're questioning your current direction, entering a new stage of life, or simply looking for a more intentional approach to everyday living, Ikigai and the Art of Keeping Your Dreams Alive offers an accessible introduction to a Japanese philosophy centered on purpose, meaning, and the things that make life worth living.
