Written by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, IKIGAI: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life is an insightful book that elaborates on the concept of IKIGAI, which translates to “a reason for being” in English. The ancient Japanese philosophy motivates individuals to find their purpose in life, helping them to attain fulfilment, longevity, and happiness.
IKIGAI talks about the concept that everyone has a unique connection between what they love, what they are good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for, and once they find it out, it helps them unlock their full potential and lead a meaningful life.
The authors, García and Francesc Miralles, conducted research and interviews with residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa, known for its high number of centenarians, to learn how the principles of IKIGAI can help them lead a longer and happier life.
The book provides easy and practical steps and exercises to help readers find their own IKIGAI and bring about better changes in their lives. IKIGAI is a must-read for all those who are seeking happiness, purpose, and meaning in their lives. If you are seeking joy and purpose in life, then don’t miss the book.
