HÉCTOR GARCÍA - GEBRAUCHT IKIGAI THE JAPANESE S...

*Los Angeles Times bestseller*  "If hygge is the art of doing nothing  ikigai is the art of
doing something-and doing it with supreme focus and joy." -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)-the happiness of always being busy-as revealed by the daily habits of
the world's longest-living people.  *And from the same authors  don't miss The Book of Ichigo
Ichie-about making the most of every moment in your life.*  * * *  What's your ikigai?  "Only
staying active will make you want to live a hundred years." -Japanese proverb     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?  A PENGUIN
