Summary:
According to the
Japanese
, everyone has an
ikigai
- a reason for living. And according to the residents of the
Japanese
village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer
life
. Having a strong sense of
ikigai
- the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect - means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many
Japanese
never really retire (in fact there's no word in
Japanese
that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they've found a real purpose in
life
- the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the
Japanese
village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds - one of the world's Blue Zones. The secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and how they find the
ikigai
that brings satisfaction to their lives. Practical tools to help you discover your own
ikigai
, because who doesn't want to find happiness in every day?
