Are you ready to find your reason to wake up in the morning?In Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, authors Héctor García and Francesc Miralles invite you on an inspiring journey into one of Japan’s most enduring philosophies: ikigai. This simple yet profound idea—loosely translated as “a reason for being/ a reason to live”—has helped generations in Okinawa and beyond live with more meaning, clarity and joy. Drawing on years of research, including interviews with centenarians from Japan’s Blue Zone regions, the authors uncover key patterns: how residents eat, move, work, connect and nourish a sense of purpose in daily life.
