Praise for The Ikigai Way "Do you find yourself wondering 'is that all there is' after hitting your big life goals? Are happiness and purpose still eluding you? Or, are you stuck in the grind of the 'shoulds' on your list wondering if you'll ever get to live life instead of life living you? David Marlow's The Ikigai Way is what you've been looking for: a step-by-step guide to the life you've always wanted answering the questions you never quite knew how to ask." -April Shprintz, Business Accelerator, Creator of The Generosity Culture® and Award-Winning Author of Magic Blue Rocks: The Secret to Doing Anything "For a couple of years now, David's personal, poignant musings on Ikigai have graced my weekly reading and given me a touchstone for professional reflection. Now a book! Nothing short of a roadmap complete and orchestrated to help guide us toward full potential for a balanced life. The Ikigai Way, like his weekly musings, will certainly become a touchstone for balance." -Gordon Ray, Lecturer in Management, Technology, and Strategy, Grenoble Ecole de Management "At last: The Ikigai Guy between two covers! For those people, like myself, who've been part of David Marlow's LinkedIn community these past few years, this publication is a welcome evolution. In these pages, you'll find generous helpings of Marlovian material: Etymologies galore! War stories from corporate life! Cute anecdotes about single-letter grandkids! A plethora of life lessons from running and the Marines! And then some! You ought to look into this *Way of Ikigai* thing." -Ken Gordon, Chief Communications Specialist, EPAM Continuum "David Marlow is a gifted writer, highly accomplished leader, and a master of Ikigai who expertly guides people to connect with and joyfully live in alignment with their unique purpose. I find David's insights and sage storytelling to be immensely thought provoking and inspiring. I'm excited to delve deeper into the ideas he shares in The Ikigai Way!" -Andrea Choate, Founder, Soul Mechanics Healing

This report is an output of the fourth research track (Track 4) of WERF's strategic asset management research program 'Asset Management Communication and Implementation' (SAM1R06). Track 4 addressed 'remaining asset life', and had the overall objective of contributing to the development of techniques, tools and methods for estimating residual life of wastewater assets. Track 4 research was planned to be undertaken in a staged manner, so as to provide a stepwise development of concepts and protocols. To this end, the research team has produced a synthesis of knowledge in relation to "e;end of life"e; and "e;remaining asset life"e;, which is the subject of this report. Drawing on the literature and the knowledge-base of the research team and industry partners, information is presented on the range of factors that influence the life of the different asset classes involved in the provision of wastewater services. A taxonomy of asset life is also given, along with a critical review of the conceptual linkages between risk, asset management and remaining asset life. A review of techniques used to assess remaining asset life is also included, as well as a detailed 'state of the art' review of modeling tools and approaches.One of the key questions to be addressed in this initial stage of the research was the state of knowledge with respect to the estimation and prediction of remaining asset life, and if there is the capacity to translate between condition and performance data (e.g. the presence of significant defects) and the residual life of an asset. In this regard, this report builds on previous work undertaken by the research team into protocols for condition and performance assessments, as detailed in WERF (2007).
