Find your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days. El proyecto de este libro surgió uniendo la experiencia en cultura japonesa de Héctor García (autor de “Un Geek en Japón”), que lleva doce años viviendo en Japón, con el arte escribiendo de Francesc Miralles (autor de decenas de libros y novelas y especialista en psicología). Para escribir la obra, los dos autores fueron recibidos por el alcalde de Ogimi (Okinawa), una localidad del norte de Japón con el mayor índice de longevidad del mundo, y tuvieron acceso a entrevistar a más de un centenar de sus habitantes. Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them Marie 'KonMari' KondoSegún los japoneses, todo el mundo tiene un ikigai, un motivo para existir. Algunos lo han encontrado y son conscientes de su ikigai, otros lo llevan dentro, pero todavía lo están buscando. Este es uno de los secretos para una vida larga, joven y feliz como la que llevan los habitantes de Okinawa, la isla más longeva del mundo. The authors of Ikigai have interviewed hundreds of centenarians of Japan to unravel their secret of being young and happy, even at an old age. Most of the Japanese belonged to Okinawa, a Japanese Island, where 24 people out of 100,000 are over the age of 100- far more than the global average. Women of Okinawa live longer and have fewer diseases than anywhere else in the world. The book contains lessons based on what these Japanese centenarians eat and drink, how they treat their work and their style of living. dezvoltarea rezilientei - continua sa lupti orice ar fi si este foarte importanta nanakorobi yaoki, ceea ce inseamna cand 'cazi de 7 ori ridica-te de 8'.

The answer is flow. Ta-dah! The psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the term flow and described it as the pleasure we feel when we completely immerse ourselves in what we are doing. According to him, The book made me feel the importance of slowing down, being in the moment, and showing gratitude for every small thing I have in this life. This book helped me to live with peace, make friends, and enjoy each and every moment. I don’t know; the book is a kind of magic, which made me realize that there is nothing to worry about but only to be happy. I was happy after reading it.

Mogi uses Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of being "in flow" [4] to show how getting lost in even the dreariest of tasks can bring a sense of reward and freedom. (This is related to the pillars "releasing yourself" and "being in the here and now"). With the satisfaction that comes from being "in the flow," even the most dreaded task can become, not just bearable, but rewarding. Looking forward Small moments and gestures of kindness can have a dramatic impact on how you feel about the other areas of your life, especially when you're struggling to find motivation. The book has more than one purpose. Firstly, it explores ikigai-inspired lifestyle habits that help us live a long and healthy life, such as our ability to manage stress, avoid a sedentary lifestyle, value emotional awareness, develop a positive attitude, and get adequate sleep. The most eye catching autumn lifestyle trend is the Japanese concept of Ikigai, which translates as "reason to live"… An attractive and absorbing book. We've all heard stories of dramatic career changes in pursuit of dreams. Like ditching the nine-to-five to become a ski instructor, or quitting a high-powered corporate role to retrain as a midwife.

Without exception, the advice is excellent. After all, our passions and talents are unique to each of us. If we know them, they should be shared and experienced here and now; if we don’t, our mission should be their discovery. This approach to social responsibility can provide a greater sense of purpose that has a subtle, but powerful, effect on how we relate to our work. Especially on a dreary Monday morning. Finding flow Ikigai asks readers to focus on their inward journey which I think is very important in the fast-paced technology-driven existences that we all lead.Enjoy a cup or two of green tea as you digest this small, charming book.”— Minneapolis Star Tribune
