<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in Spanish as Ikigai: Los secretos de Japaon para una vida larga y feliz by Ediciones Urano in 2016."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b><i>Los Angeles Times </i>bestseller - <b>More than 1.5 million copies sold</b> <p/>"If <i>hygge</i> is the art of doing nothing, <i>ikigai</i> is the art of doing something--and doing it with supreme focus and joy." --<i>New York Post</i></b> <p/>Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of <i>ikigai </i>(pronounced <i>ee-key-guy</i>)--the happiness of always being busy--as revealed by the daily habits of the world's longest-living people. <p/>*And from the same authors, don't miss <i>The Book of Ichigo Ichie</i><b>--</b>about making the most of every moment in your life.* <p/>* * * <p/>What's your <i>ikigai</i>?</b> <p/>"Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years." --Japanese proverb <p/> According to the Japanese, everyone has an <i>ikigai</i>--a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world's longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of <i>ikigai</i>--the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect--means that each day is infused with meaning. It's the reason we get up in the morning. It's also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there's no word in Japanese that means <i>retire</i> in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they've found a real purpose in life--the happiness of always being busy. <p/> In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds--one of the world's Blue Zones. <i>Ikigai</i> reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and--their best-kept secret--how they find the <i>ikigai</i> that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own <i>ikigai.</i> Because who doesn't want to find happiness in every day? <p/><b>A PENGUIN LIFE TITLE</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Ikigai </i>urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them. . . . Much in the same way that <i>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up </i>emphasizes 'choosing what we want to keep, and not what we want to get rid of, ' [<i>Ikigai</i>] demonstrates that aging could be an opportunity to <i>keep </i>working<i>, keep</i> smiling, <i>keep</i> active, and <i>keep </i>being social." --<b><i>KonMari Newsletter</i></b> <p/>"Want to live longer? Keep super busy. If <i>hygge</i> is the art of doing nothing, <i>ikigai</i> is the art of doing something--and doing it with supreme focus and joy. . . .
