In Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, authors Héctor García and Francesc Miralles take readers on a journey to uncover the simple, powerful philosophy behind Japan’s famously long-lived and joy-filled communities—especially in Okinawa.
At the heart of the book is the concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-kee-guy), which means “a reason to wake up in the morning.” It’s the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. This Japanese life philosophy blends passion, purpose, and practicality.
The book shares insights from centenarians, researchers, and cultural traditions to help you discover your own ikigai and live with more intention and joy.
