'This book shares real-life stories of individuals in Japan who are quietly and powerfully living their Ikigai, through thoughtful introspection, emotional renewal and the pursuit of a life lived with meaning. I encourage you to read it, absorb its message, and enjoy it!'
--Dr. Riley Moynes, Author, The Four Phases of Retirement

Originally from Chennai, Sumathy has made Kobe, Japan, her home for over twenty-five years. Beginning her life in Japan as a homemaker, she explored diverse professional interests that shaped her varied career. A firm believer in lifelong learning through experiences and reading, she finds inspiration in everyday encounters, which fueled her fascination with Ikigai. A mother of two, she also enjoys discovering Japan's hidden gems. Shivendu Nadkarni is a business leader turned human capital catalyst. After twenty-five years in Fortune 500 MNCs across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, he is now an educator, mentor, and advisor to small businesses, as well as a researcher and practitioner of Ikigai.

Rajiv Bajaj is the Chairman of Bajaj Capital, a respected name in Indian financial guidance for over five decades. After more than thirty years in investment banking, wealth management, and financial planning, Rajiv became interested in what makes life truly fulfilling. His exploration led him to the world's 'blue zones, ' regions where people often live to 100 or more, where he discovered Ikigai and became a coach in the practice. Rati Arora is an internationally certified health and wellness coach with over a decade of corporate experience. Her transition into motherhood taught her that self-care is not a luxury but a necessity.
