Having a deep sense of ikigai—where your passions, skills, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs all intersect—brings a profound sense of purpose to each day. It's what motivates us to get out of bed in the morning. This concept also explains why many Japanese people never truly retire (in fact, there’s no direct equivalent for "retire" in the Japanese language as it is understood in English): They stay active, continuing to work on what they love, because they’ve discovered a true purpose in life—the joy of always being engaged.
In the process of writing this book, the authors spoke with residents of a Japanese village renowned for having the highest percentage of centenarians—one of the world's Blue Zones. Ikigai uncovers the keys to their long and happy lives: their diet, their physical activity, their work ethic, their emphasis on community and collaboration, and—their most cherished secret—their ability to find ikigai that gives their lives fulfillment. The book also offers practical tools to help you uncover your own ikigai, because who wouldn’t want to experience happiness every single day?
