In the US TV series ‘The Office', there is an episode where they try parkour. They run around in the office, randomly jumping onto furniture or rolling on the floor, occasionally yelling “Parkour!”
This book is that scene, in book form. It's a mishmash of life advice, grandma's wisdom and random musings, with no seeming central theme, with the word “Ikigai!” thrown around every once in a while.
