Summary
In The Ikigai Journey， authors Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles take their international bestseller Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life a step further by showing you how to find your own ikigai through practical exercises， such as employing new habits and stepping outside your comfort zone。
Ikigai is the place where our passion （what we love）， mission （what we hope to contribute）， vocation （the gifts we have to offer the world） and profession （how our passions and talents can become a livelihood） converge， giving us a personal sense of meaning。 This book helps you bring together all of these elements so that you can enjoy a balanced life。
Our ikigai is very similar to change: it is a constant that transforms depending on which phase of life we are in。 Our "reason for being" is not the same at 15 as it is at 70。 Through three sections， this book helps you to accept and embrace that—acting as a tool to revolutionize your future by helping you to understand the past， so you can enjoy your present。
Section 1 — Journey Through the Future: Tokyo （a symbol of modernity and innovation）
Section 2 — Journey Through the Past: Kyoto （an ancient capital moored in tradition）
Section 3 — Journey Through the Present: Ise （an ancient shrine that is destroyed and rebuilt every twenty years）
Japan has one of the longest life spans in the world， and the greatest number of centenarians—many of whom cite their strong sense of ikigai as the basis for their happiness and longevity。 Unlike many "self-care" practices， which require setting aside time in an increasingly busy world， the ikigai method helps you find peace and fulfillment in your busy life。

Foarte interesantă și bine de urmat。 O lectură din care poți să înveți multe lucruri。

Доста добра книга。 Подходяща както за хората， навлизащи в сферата на личностното развитие， така и занапреднали。 Кратка， точна и ясна。。。

Creo que es un buen libro pero que no me llegó en el momento adecuado。 No lo terminé pero lo haré en el futuro。

While it contains some good info， this book is essentially a compilation of 35 self-help tips from various sources the authors have loosely tied together under the theme of ikigai。 It’s great for those looking for practical but high-level ideas on self-improvement and purpose; it’s not for those looking for something deeper。

Leuk boek met een mooie rode draad van Japanse verhalen en denkwijzen。 Deels al wel bekend， maar er zitten ook een paar schrijfopdrachten in die ik niet kende en die helpen over jezelf na te denken。 Ook al heb je je Ikigai na afloop nog niet helemaal， het geeft toch richting。

I found a few quite useful and practical guidelines in improving how I do things and look at the big picture。 That said， it did take an effort to pore through the whole book。

"Our ikigai is the reason we get up in the morning" This book discussed what "ikigai" a Japanese word mean， talked about the life of people in Okinawa one of the blue zones were the oldest people in the world live， the authors met some of them and they shared their lifestyle tips。I thought that the whole book will talk about how can we find our ikigai but I found out that it also talked about food and exercise which I didn't expect but generally the book had nice information and I like it。 "Our ikigai is the reason we get up in the morning" This book discussed what "ikigai" a Japanese word mean， talked about the life of people in Okinawa one of the blue zones were the oldest people in the world live， the authors met some of them and they shared their lifestyle tips。I thought that the whole book will talk about how can we find our ikigai but I found out that it also talked about food and exercise which I didn't expect but generally the book had nice information and I like it。 。。。more

Old wine in a new bottle but even then thoroughly enjoyed the book。 A repetition of Things we already know but sometimes one needs to read them again and again for them to sink in。 Loved the writing style too :）

i am still 16 。 But already feel so stressed about so many things 。 And as I am constantly struggling to fit in understand my surroundings ， trying to fulfill my fantasies and satisfy the society。 This book is eye opener。 It speaks about different things and discuss about important themes 。 also introduce us to different part of japanese cultures and how the japanese way of life can be very helpful while living our life。 I hope that i will inculcate the ideas discussed in my life。 it was a great i am still 16 。 But already feel so stressed about so many things 。 And as I am constantly struggling to fit in understand my surroundings ， trying to fulfill my fantasies and satisfy the society。 This book is eye opener。 It speaks about different things and discuss about important themes 。 also introduce us to different part of japanese cultures and how the japanese way of life can be very helpful while living our life。 I hope that i will inculcate the ideas discussed in my life。 it was a great book ！！！！ 。。。more

I am sourly disappointed by this book。 This book packs a bunch of wisdom especially from Japan。 I loved reading all of it but it seems more like a book on longevity than on Ikigai！ There is merely one paragraph on Ikigai that’s it。 Perhaps the authors meant that Ikigai is what helps the okinawans live longer but that’s not why I picked up the book。

What I liked about the book is that it highlights some techniques to bring forward not only our ikigai， but also our hidden capabilities。

Pe parcursul a 2 săptămâni，am avut parte de o călătorie imaginară pe tărâmurile Japoniei ，în trecut ，prezent și viitor。Cartea m-a impresionat foarte mult și plus la asta este scrisă într-un mod foarte accesibil pentru toată lumea 。Pentru cei ce își doresc să -și schimbe viața la 360°，e o scriere perfectă。Opera este împărțită în 35 de stații ，este explicată tema și totodată și un exercițiu practic pentru a întări cele învățate。Ikigai te pune pe gânduriIkigai a schimbat și schimbă viețiRecomand ❤️

356 digital pages sayang sekali terasa hambar。 Penulis mencoba menggabungkan ide dari cerita perjalanannya dalam mendalami japanese culture， namun sedikit sekali yang sifatnya life changing。 Side story nya malah yang lebih bagus dan itu pun tidak koheren karena segmented per bab。 Aside from that， thanks for the lessons。

A quick read， but an insightful one。 Since I like Japan， I was interested in the book。 Finished the first book days earlier， I thought the title was quite misleading; since it didn't share any practical steps on achieving ikigai。 But then this book is written with that purpose。 I took what really resonated me， including the activities to try on certain chapters。 All in all， it was a simple， yet a nice journey after all。 A quick read， but an insightful one。 Since I like Japan， I was interested in the book。 Finished the first book days earlier， I thought the title was quite misleading; since it didn't share any practical steps on achieving ikigai。 But then this book is written with that purpose。 I took what really resonated me， including the activities to try on certain chapters。 All in all， it was a simple， yet a nice journey after all。 。。。more

Más que un libro es una guía muy interesante de cómo encontrar eso que te apasiona y construir tu vida con ese fundamento。 Muy practico y para sacarle provecho sería necesario acudir de manera constante a el。
