Child Psychology Book Lady

This is a nice book that explores the Japanese concept of Ikigai, or finding a meaningful purpose in life. A central message is that happiness comes not from attracting attention or comparing oneself to others, but from developing a strong sense of identity and purpose. The book is separated into 4 parts, offering practical exercises that help teens identify their own strengths, passions and values, approach challenges as opportunities to learn, cultivate healthy daily habits and routines, and build relationships that support their uniqueness rather than drawing them to be the same as their peers. I particularly liked the section on “the four circles”, which explores what you love, what you’re good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. Suitable for pre-teens and teens aged 11 and up.
