Ikigai

Ikigai is a Japanese word for a reason to live, or a reason to jump out of bed in the morning. It is the point where your needs, desires, ambitions and sense of satisfaction meet, a place of balance. The book connects finding it with living longer.

The authors say it is easier to find than you might think. This book is meant to help you work out what your own ikigai is and to equip you to change your life. Your skills, interests, desires and history, they suggest, have made you well suited to something, and the task is to discover what.

The promise is that once you do, each day can become more joyful and meaningful.
