Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life
Discover the secret to a long and happy life by finding your ikigai, the Japanese motivation for getting up every day.
Ikigai is the driving force that connects your needs, desires, and ambitions with the meaning and joy of life.
We all have an ikigai, a Japanese concept that means 'the reason for getting up in the morning'. It is the force that gives life direction and purpose, where your needs, desires, ambitions, and satisfaction merge. In Okinawa, an island known for being home to some of the world's oldest people, the oldest residents share precisely this common denominator: their ikigai.
Through conversations with the island's elders and careful observations of their daily lives, diets, community, and philosophy of life, authors Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia explore how the balance between ambition, joy, and meaning can extend and enrich life.
Find out what drives you and learn how to make each day more meaningful and vibrant.
