The worldwide phenomenon that brings us closer to the secrets of a healthy and happy life.
According to the Japansese, everybody has an ikigai, a reason to exist. Some have already found it, and they know their ikigai, and some have it inside of them but are still searching for it. This is one of the secrets for a long, young and happy life like that of many of the inhabitants of Okinawa, the island with the highest rate of longest-living people in the world.
Ikigai was created by uniting the expertise in Japanese culture of Héctor García, who has been living in Japan for twelve years, and the writing skills of Francesc Miralles, the author of dozens of books and novels, and a specialist in psychology. In order to write this book, both authors were received by the mayor of Ogimi (Okinawa), a town in northern Japan with the highest rate of longevity in the world, and they interviewed more than one hundred of its inhabitants.
The project analizes the approach of the centennial Japanese people to an optimistic and vital existence, discovering how they eat, move, work, interact with others – and the best kept secret – how they find the ikigai that gives meaning to their existence and motivates them to live one hundred years at the top of their game.
Having a clear and defined ikigai, a great passion, is something that gives satisfaction, happiness and meaning to life.
