habits of the world’s longest-living people.
What’s your ikigai?
“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese
proverb
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.
Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat,
how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community,
and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction
to their lives.
And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai.
Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?
