Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

“Ikigai urges individuals to simplify their lives by pursuing what sparks joy for them. . . .

Much in the same way that The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up emphasizes ‘choosing what we want to keep, and not what we want to get rid of,’ [Ikigai] demonstrates that aging could be an opportunity to keep working, keep smiling, keep active, and keep being social even as centenarians.” —KonMari Newsletter

About the Book

*Los Angeles Times bestseller*

“If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something—and doing it with supreme focus and joy.” —New York Post

Bring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy)—the happiness of always being busy—as revealed by the daily habits of the world’s longest-living people.

“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?

I have used Ian's coaching since early 2014. For me personally, he is the single most important positive change agent I have come across. As a coach he is an incredibly helpful, warm and engaging person.

I just wanted to let you know that the hour coaching session we had together impacted me greatly and the results have been extremely beneficial. I’ve achieved my stated goal already and the target date was the end of the year! The strategies were excellent and made my decisions very easy, so thank you for that. Life is good!

Paul, you gave me encouragement and gave me information to allow me to start seeing what was possible...it was amazing. You inspired me to try. I saw that I had time and hope for the future. I saw that I could change my life.
