Ikigai

"Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life" explores the concept of ikigai—a reason for being—and its connection to longevity, drawing on Japanese culture and centenarians' experiences in Okinawa and other Blue Zones. The book examines various contributing factors, including diet (Hara Hachi Bu), physical and mental exercises (yoga, tai chi, qigong, radio taiso), mindfulness practices, community support (moai), and resilience. It also incorporates principles from logotherapy and Morita therapy to illustrate the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life. Finally, the text offers practical strategies for achieving flow and cultivating antifragility to enhance well-being and longevity.
