Summary

“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years。” —Japanese proverb

According to the Japanese， everyone has an ikigai—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 ikigai—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 retire 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。

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。 Ikigai 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 ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives。 And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai。 Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day？

When I started reading this book， I was quite impressed by the theme of book and how it was represented。 Initial portion is motivating and things about ikigai kept my interest。But after few chapters everything was on repeating mode and I felt like the book was distracted from its main focus i。e。 '' how to find ur ikigai''。 When I started reading this book， I was quite impressed by the theme of book and how it was represented。 Initial portion is motivating and things about ikigai kept my interest。But after few chapters everything was on repeating mode and I felt like the book was distracted from its main focus i。e。 '' how to find ur ikigai''。 。。。more

Headstart at 30Most recommended for ppl in 30s， so as to have better understanding of life。 Ikigai- to discover， to follow， to indoctrinate。

Daisy Hendrikx ，

Dit is een boek dat de bewoners in de Blue zones en hun levensstijl beschrijft。 Het maakt je weer eens bewust van je eigen leven en hoe je zorgt voor jezelf。 De meeste dingen weet je wel al， maar toch fijn om weer eens te lezen。 Een beetje jammer is dat het boek vooral opsomt en citaten neerzet。 Hierdoor leest het niet heel inspirerend。

Muy inspirador y gratificante。。。 Creo que ha llegado a mi vida en el momento adecuado。 Con sólo leerlo me ha dejado con una paz interior que da ganas de irte a vivir con los ancianos de Okinawa

The book is a good read， worth spending the time on。 It gives an insight into the various practices that one can adopt to lead to a healthy and meaningful life， by taking the lifestyle of the inhabitants of a Japanese island as an example。 The book also gives us many scientific and philosophical tips to lead such a life。 The major issue that I found with the book is that there is no convergence of ideas。 The chapters are loosely presented with suggestions to improve living。 While I find no issue The book is a good read， worth spending the time on。 It gives an insight into the various practices that one can adopt to lead to a healthy and meaningful life， by taking the lifestyle of the inhabitants of a Japanese island as an example。 The book also gives us many scientific and philosophical tips to lead such a life。 The major issue that I found with the book is that there is no convergence of ideas。 The chapters are loosely presented with suggestions to improve living。 While I find no issues in the facts and philosophies， it was not， at least for me， a pleasurable read。 。。。more

If you are seeking purpose and looking for reasons for being then this book is a must。 I listened to it first on audible but then felt compelled to read the book too。 Well written and gives a beautiful insight into this Japanese philosophy。 It inspired me to take stock of my life and fill it with the things I love to do。

Few chapters are boring。 A calming read。 Has some great insights into different cultures and how they are structured to make it easy to live longer。

1 star for mish-mashed content and 0。5 star for execution。 Its ironic that this book lacks flow in its writing which is evident in its narration。

This book is very much a review article of all things correlated with long life and well being。 I liked the part about Japan and the lifestyle of Okinawan people。 But did not enjoy the rest of it as it mostly felt like a collection of random snippets from wikipedia。 And the book simply states the practices followed by people and doesn't try to delve into making connections between the ideas they point to。 But it will surely spark your curiosity to see and experience Okinawa。 This book is very much a review article of all things correlated with long life and well being。 I liked the part about Japan and the lifestyle of Okinawan people。 But did not enjoy the rest of it as it mostly felt like a collection of random snippets from wikipedia。 And the book simply states the practices followed by people and doesn't try to delve into making connections between the ideas they point to。 But it will surely spark your curiosity to see and experience Okinawa。 。。。more

It was my first self-help book。I normally don't like reading such books because the gist of a lot of those is something I feel I already have gathered from around different sources including books excerpts， YouTube videos about people and places and science， listening to people no matter what age and may be more， and going over such books makes me feel like I'm being reiterated all those points。 The problem is I'm just too lazy to follow up on these。But still， I went through this book and didn't It was my first self-help book。I normally don't like reading such books because the gist of a lot of those is something I feel I already have gathered from around different sources including books excerpts， YouTube videos about people and places and science， listening to people no matter what age and may be more， and going over such books makes me feel like I'm being reiterated all those points。 The problem is I'm just too lazy to follow up on these。But still， I went through this book and didn't get bored as it never felt like I was being lectured。 It is written in such a way like I'm being told about many different places， the culture， the landscape and all。 I could actually make pictures inside my head of the places that were told about in this one and it was good for me。 I gave four stars to this book， because after anything， it is a self-help book。 。。。more

This book majorly focuses on how to achieve longevity rather than on the achievement of meaningful life。It states how people lived so long but didn't fall bright light on how did they manage to live this long or how they conquered the negative influences， notions and situations in ones life。 Obviously nobody wants all this negativity in their life but they do exist parallel and they affect you at some point in your life which later on leaves you in a situation where you are not happy with yourse This book majorly focuses on how to achieve longevity rather than on the achievement of meaningful life。It states how people lived so long but didn't fall bright light on how did they manage to live this long or how they conquered the negative influences， notions and situations in ones life。 Obviously nobody wants all this negativity in their life but they do exist parallel and they affect you at some point in your life which later on leaves you in a situation where you are not happy with yourself or your life。What people need in this smart era is not to live a longer life but to live a meaningful life where they are in a state of content with their life。My best part of this book which i enjoyed reading was Chapter 9 Resilience and Wabi - Sabi。 It helped me to look things in a new way， all that fragile antifragile and imperfect things is the key for your growth。 。。。more

Well， the main ideas of the book repeat themselves sooo often that it is getting more boring with every step。And yeah， to live longer you need to eat more veggies， work more and spend more quality time with family and friends。 Noted， not that I am going to follow these）I didn’t like the authors’ ideas against multitasking， no matter what : it is one thing that I am never giving up on） Multitasking for life！

Nothing new here。 Just reminders to eat your veggies and exercise lol。 Very shallow case studies about Japanese culture with no flow or structure whatsoever。 I guess I'm rating it at 2 stars instead of 1 is because I've read shittier self help books than this so now my standards are low。 Nothing new here。 Just reminders to eat your veggies and exercise lol。 Very shallow case studies about Japanese culture with no flow or structure whatsoever。 I guess I'm rating it at 2 stars instead of 1 is because I've read shittier self help books than this so now my standards are low。 。。。more

"Life is not a problem to be solved， just remember to have something that keeps you busy doing what you love while being surrounded by the people who love you。"The book focuses on the concept of Ikigai， which is referred to as something that gives a person as sense of purpose。 In Japanese， feeling ikigai is often described as the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passion。 The book draws upon the lessons from a community in Okinawa， where the people t "Life is not a problem to be solved， just remember to have something that keeps you busy doing what you love while being surrounded by the people who love you。"The book focuses on the concept of Ikigai， which is referred to as something that gives a person as sense of purpose。 In Japanese， feeling ikigai is often described as the feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passion。 The book draws upon the lessons from a community in Okinawa， where the people there live longer than others。 The narrative also focuses on insights from other aspects such as art， psychology and science to show the reader how to follow their own ikigai and promotes a happy and healthy lifestyle to help in sustaining one's ikigai， once achieved。 The book was incredibly easy to follow， with short chapters to encompass the various aspects of lifestyle， culture and community within Okinawa， to show the reader the ways others achieved their ikigai， and what that ikigai is。 Exploring Okinawan community， the authors of the book open our eyes to a community filled with positivity， a sense of trust and reliability， and with an adopted way of life that leads to longevity。 It is a concise read， which captures advice and guidance in a simple and understandable way for the reader。 It was a three hour listen for me on Libby and I found it quite calming during the evening， and very easy to focus on。What particularly struck me is the concept of accepting that you cannot change the past and you cannot control the future， and for this reason you shouldn't regret the past， not fear your future。 The only thing that a person can control is their present， and the guidance here draws the readers attention to making everyday worth living and ensuring we all live in the moment。 Another aspect directs the reader towards understanding that life is not a problem that needs to be solved （which is outlined in the quote at the start） which really signifies the importance of being positive and maintaining a happy outlook， alongside keeping active and healthy， and surrounding yourself with friendship， whilst not forgetting to be in touch with nature from time to time。A lot of the guidance， and the 10 lessons of Ikigai seem familiar to readers， but their portrayal in the book， through the experiences of the Okinawa community， spotlights them from a different perspective， and really drew me in as a reader。 。。。more
