Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

H�ctor Garc�a and Francesc Miralles travel to Ogimi, a small Okinawan village with one of the highest concentrations of centenarians on earth, to uncover the secret behind the Japanese concept of ikigai - your personal reason for getting up in the morning. Drawing on interviews with the village's residents alongside research on diet, movement, community and purpose, the authors show how ikigai sits at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Rather than prescribing a rigid formula, the book offers gentle, practical tools to help readers find their own sense of purpose and carry it into old age. An international bestseller and a lovely, easy read for anyone chasing a more meaningful, balanced life.
