There's a lot of "right" kind of info packed in this little book.

The best thing to do while reading this book is to jot down points and thoughts that resonate with you.

Most self-help books get a bad rep and I'm pretty sure this book did too. In my opinion, the reader needs to take what's important to them and what resonates with them in a self-help book.

Ikigai certainly helped me in pondering over many important concepts of life and kind of pushed me in the right direction to think about them and make the right decisions in the next coming months.

I think I picked it up at the right moment, i.e., at the end of year 2021. It's going to shape my New Year resolutions and hopefully brings more clarity.

This is one of the best books I've read so far in finance category. It contains 19 short stories of how people invest, why they make the financial decisions they usually make, and how no one is crazy when it comes to money making decisions.

To each his own.

Everyone should read this.

Opened up a whole new world for me. :)

This is my first Stephen King book.

Am I glad to have read this or what!

When I started it, I didn't expect to read all the way through. I almost gave up on it when the plot was no longer interesting to me.

For some reason, I kept reading and I'm glad I didn't give up on it too early into the book.

After reading 760 pages, I feel like now I am part of Stephen King's Insomnia. I feel like I'm one of his characters. I now understand why his books are so long and thick. It's necessary for Stephen King to build such intricate, complex, and amazing characters.

If you have some time on your hand and want to connect with the characters instead of rushing through the book, then this one is for you!
