Ikigai: The Japanese Life Philosophy to Finding Happiness (Effective Methods of Living a Fruitful Life by Using the Theories): (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774858233)

To learn the japanese way, you need to have accurate information about japan. Unfortunately, a lot of claims made about japanese culture are misinterpreted or outdated. Okinawa being the longest-lived prefecture, is one of them. In japan, okinawa was regarded as the land of longevity back in the 1980s when it was ranked high in the national ranking. Recently prefectures like nagano and shiga have ranked within the top three and gained the reputation of being long-lived prefectures.

Ikigai is another one. It is nothing to do with the popular venn diagram. It isn't a framework in japan.

As you read this book, you will discover:

• The concept of ikigai
• How you can find your ikigai
• How it will help you improve every area of your life.
• You will read about the people of okinawa and other blue zones in the world to learn how they achieve longevity.
• Ikigai will teach you how you can eat, sleep, think, and work better while improving your relationships with the ones around you.

If your answer to all these questions is yes, then you probably don't know about a concept called ikigai. You likely also don't know that this concept holds your answers to all the questions above. Not to worry, the purpose of this book is to teach you everything you need to know about ikigai. If you are content with living a purposeless life, the message below this isn't for you. I'm addressing this to you only if you want to find out what your purpose is in life.
