Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

*Los Angeles Times bestseller*

â€œIfÂ hyggeÂ is the art of doing nothing,Â ikigaiÂ is the art of doing somethingâ€”and doing it with supreme focus and joy.â€ â€”New York Post

Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy)â€”the happiness of always being busyâ€”as revealed by the daily habits of the worldâ€™s longest-living people.

â€œOnlyÂ stayingÂ activeÂ willÂ makeÂ youÂ wantÂ toÂ liveÂ aÂ hundredÂ years.â€Â â€”Japanese proverb
Â
According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigaiâ€”a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the worldâ€™s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigaiâ€”the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersectâ€”means that each day is infused with meaning. Itâ€™s the reason we get up in the morning. Itâ€™s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact thereâ€™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 theyâ€™ve found a real purpose in lifeâ€”the happiness of always being busy.
Â
In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-oldsâ€”one of the worldâ€™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, andâ€”their best-kept secretâ€”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 doesnâ€™t want to find happiness in every day?
