Ikigai The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Book • 2017
This book explores the Japanese concept of ikigai, which translates to 'the reason to live' or 'the thing that makes life worth living.

' The authors, Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, delve into the secrets of longevity and happiness among the residents of Okinawa, one of the world’s Blue Zones.

They discuss how these individuals eat, move, work, foster community, and find their ikigai, which is the overlap of what one loves, is good at, can get paid for, and what the world needs.

The book also draws on research in psychology, spirituality, and philosophy, including concepts like Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of flow.

It provides practical tools to help readers discover their own ikigai and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
