Rolefulness - The Book

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-individualised world, many of us feel unmoored—unsure of who we are or what truly matters. We chase goals, pursue productivity, and scroll endlessly in search of purpose. Rolefulness invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect—not by doing more, but by being more present and intentional in the roles you already live.

Co-authored by Professor Daiki Kato and Nicholas Kemp, this groundbreaking book introduces a life-affirming idea: that your everyday roles—parent, friend, mentor, creator, colleague, volunteer—can become powerful sources of meaning, satisfaction, and connection.

Rather than fixating on a singular life purpose or waiting for your "true calling" to arrive, Rolefulness shows you how to experience purpose right now—by embracing the social and internal dimensions of your roles with greater clarity, compassion, and creativity.
