Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Discover the timeless wisdom behind ikigai—a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being.” This international bestseller explains how finding your ikigai can help you live with more joy, purpose, and energy every day.

Based on research from one of Japan’s Blue Zones—a village where people live longer than most—the authors share insights on how lifestyle, community, diet, and mindset help people stay healthy and happy.
At the core of it all is ikigai: the powerful meeting point of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

Through inspiring stories, helpful exercises, and cultural wisdom, this book shows how small daily choices and an active lifestyle can bring lasting happiness.
Learn why many Japanese people never retire, how staying active helps with health and happiness, and how to find your own ikigai to make life meaningful.

Ikigai is more than just a philosophy—it’s a guide to living with purpose, balance, and joy.
Whether you’re looking for direction, clarity, or a happier way of living, this book gives you the tools to change your future.

It’s the Japanese word for “a reason to live” or “a reason to get out of bed in the morning.”

It’s the place where your needs, dreams, ambitions, and satisfaction come together.
A place of balance. It’s no wonder that finding your ikigai is closely linked to living longer.

Finding your ikigai is easier than you think.
This book will help you figure out what your ikigai really is and give you the tools to change your life. You have a purpose in this world: your skills, your interests, your desires, and your history have made you the perfect person for something. All you need to do is find it.

Do that, and you can make every day of your life joyful and meaningful.
