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?

Ok sammanfattning av konceptet och en bra ljud produktion. Den här handlar mer om livsstilar och vanor som kan hjälpa dig hitta ditt 'Ikigai' men i slutändan är det mer av en introduktion. Hoppa till kapitel 12 och lyssnar på sista delen för att få veta allt.

It reminds me of my root as a native japanese, living abroad more than a third of my life. I appreciate this book to reconnect to my own.culture and re learn from new and different perspectives!

Blandade tips från Japan och Kina om att hitta sin egen väg i livet, motionera mer och äta bättre. Boken funkar bra som tilltugg när man tröttnat på ryska författare och Camus :)

Some books throw out the baby with the bathwater when investigating spiritual matters. This book removes the baby and keeps the bathwater. It covers a fascinating subject poorly. The problem is that it never takes it's own advice. It extolls the virtue of doing the thing for itself, not for hopes of success, and then list all of the succesfull people who has that approach. Way to undercut the message. The chapters on Tai Chi, Qi Gong etc are beyond parody. They try to make these practices into a kind of boring excercise routine. The book gets 2 stars because it gace me three good insights, but it could have been a folder or a listicle. It also have the annoying habit of going on random excursions, eg Victor Frankels logos therapy, that are then left and barely ever revisited. It also persists in preaching how good for your health meaning and purpose in life is. The person who has to be promised long life to understand the point of feeling meaning and purpose won't read this book anyway

The concept of this book is to find your IKIGAI, which is the secret of having a happy life and live “long” (in years). - Take about japan which has the oldest population on earth - include interview with old people- practical things to find your IKIGAI- the power of working and living alining with your IKIGAI- the impact of having a supportive community both mentally and financially - the blue zone of the earth were the oldest people liveHad seen a documentary about this before but good written book overall
