This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if the map to your life has been redrawn by the very world that left you behind? In a remote, experimental clinic in the harsh Scandinavian wilderness, four teenagers from across Europe are sent as a last resort. Olof, the listless Swedish gamer; Freja, the Danish girl numb to cozy comforts; Magnus, the Norwegian who despises the very nature surrounding him; and Éloïse, the French girl who finds everything meaningless. Branded as "digitally addicted" and "lost," they are stripped of their devices and forced to confront the deafening silence within. Guided by a mysterious teacher who wields ancient philosophies like ikigai, kaizen, and lagom not as buzzwords, but as brutal, practical tools for survival, they embark on a transformative journey. They will face a "Room of Silence," build bridges from clay and words, and survive a night in the unforgiving forest. But their greatest challenge will be facing the reflections in their own digital mirrors. For readers of The Midnight Library and A Man Called Ove, this story explores the profound quest for purpose in a hyper-connected world. For fans of haunting, atmospheric settings, the "New North" clinic is a character in itself—a crucible where modern souls are reforged by ancient truths. A gripping narrative that asks one of the most pressing questions of our time: How do you find your reason to get out of bed when the whole world is at your fingertips, yet feels utterly empty? Ikigai for the Lost Generation is a powerful, unflinching, and ultimately hopeful tale. It is a beacon for anyone who has ever felt disconnected, for parents who don't understand their children, and for anyone searching for the courage to light their own star in the overwhelming darkness.
