Ikigai

Description

Ikigai explores the powerful Japanese concept of "ikigai," which translates to "a reason for being" or "the happiness of always being busy." This internationally best-selling guide reveals the secrets to living a long and meaningful life.

The book delves into the practices of residents in a Japanese village known for having the world's highest concentration of centenarians (people who live to be 100 years old or older). These individuals attribute their longevity and happiness to finding their ikigai.

Ikigai identifies your ikigai as the sweet spot where your passion, mission, vocation, and profession converge. This convergence infuses your daily life with meaning and purpose.

The traditional concept of retirement doesn't exist in Japanese culture. The book highlights the importance of staying active and engaged in work you enjoy, contributing to a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Through interviews and research, Ikigai unveils the secrets of the world's longest-living people. These secrets encompass aspects of diet, exercise, work, social connection, and, most importantly, finding your ikigai.

The book goes beyond theory, offering practical tools and exercises to help you discover your own unique ikigai.

By discovering your ikigai, you can unlock a life filled with purpose, happiness, and meaning in every day. Ikigai empowers you to live a long and fulfilling life filled with joy and satisfaction.
