Non-Fiction

Life is sometimes a never-ending haze of mundane, meaningless activities for many of us. It makes sense why our bodies are complaining by getting sick so frequently and why our mental health is deteriorating.

Let's focus on the Japanese instead. There is another key to their long lives besides only their traditional, healthful food.

You can use it even though that secret is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.

Ikigai - The common translation of this difficult Japanese concept is ""a reason for being"". You won't have to worry about finding inspiration or overcoming ennui once you've discovered your Ikigai. You simply do what you enjoy doing, and since you are such a skilled professional, other people really pay you a LOT OF MONEY for it!

In this book, you will:

Understand how finding your Ikigai will make you happy and rich.

Learn how to achieve flow, a state of focused productivity.

Cope with life's challenges like a Japanese philosopher.

Become strong and resilient because you'll never lose sight of your purpose.

Use your newly-found potential to transform your life.

Finding your Ikigai can be challenging and often painful, especially when you realize how many years you've wasted by not living out your genuine purpose. It's never too late to start, though, and it's totally worth the effort!"
