Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Authors: Héctor García and Francesc Miralles - Best Quality Hardcover

kigai explores the ancient Japanese concept that means “a reason for being.” The book reveals how finding your ikigai—the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for—can bring deep satisfaction, purpose, and joy to everyday life.

Drawing insights from the residents of Okinawa, one of the world’s “Blue Zones” known for extraordinary longevity, the authors blend philosophy, psychology, and personal stories to uncover the keys to a meaningful, healthy, and happy existence. They explain how simple lifestyle habits—strong community bonds, mindfulness, moderate diet, and continual learning—help people live longer and more fulfilled lives.
