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?

Het boek is vast interessant, hoewel nog niet echt een openbaring, maar hoe het wordt voorgelezen... Kan ik niet naar luisteren. Volume en stem kloppen niet. Soms te zacht en soms te hard...

Ik had verwacht dat het boek meer in zou gaan op je Ikigai en hoe je die kan vinden. Voor mijn gevoel ging het vooral over wat oude mensen eten, drinken en doen om oud te worden en had dar veel minder te maken met het vinden van dat wat je energie/passie geeft in het leven.

Wellicht komt het door de hoge verwachtingen die ik van dit boek had en de vreemde voorlees stem, maar het viel best tegen en kon het boek hierdoor niet helemaal uitlezen. Ging van de hak op de tak. Paar leuke weetjes erbij, maar het meeste wist ik al.

Did not fully resonate with me to much about 100 year old people

This book touches on so many subjects that it's very superficial on all. It's nice as a brief introduction on all those subjects but nothing more than that

Interesting book. Many of the tips explained to live a better life are logic but always good to be refreshed. Good to listen again from.time to time.

Mostly presents ideas from other sources - philosophers, religions etc... Not too many new original thoughts.
