Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life - Notes

In "Ikigai," authors Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles explore the concept of ikigai, which translates to "a reason for being." This philosophy is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, particularly in places like Okinawa, known for its high concentration of centenarians.


The book emphasizes that a sense of purpose not only contributes to a longer life but also brings happiness and fulfillment. Through engaging narratives and scientific findings, it reveals the intersection of passions, skills, societal needs, and financial viability that converge to form one's ikigai.


Readers will discover practical habits and insights from Okinawan centenarians, such as the importance of community, healthy diets, and maintaining physical activity in everyday life. The text also delves into stress management techniques, highlighting the significance of keeping the mind active and fostering relationships.
