The book highlights how having a sense of purpose not only enhances one’s mental and emotional health but also contributes to physical well-being. The authors also provide actionable steps on how readers can discover their own ikigai. It’s about aligning what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. This combination leads to a sense of fulfilment and direction that can significantly improve the quality of life. The book encourages reflection, helping you think about what brings joy and meaning to your life.

the book conveys things that we all might know or wud have heard but i believe we never care to bother or take into advise when someone says. This book is a strong reminder and repeater of the things we know and its written in such a way that it transports us to the village in japan and be amongst one of the villagers. People who does like simple reading and need some good vibes to start off this book is a good choice. Read more

Acabo de terminar el libro, y me gustó mucho. Tanto la información como la estética del mismo son interesantes. En cuanto a la estética de este, es muy llamativa y hermosa. Adquirí la edición de pasta dura, de color blanco, y que está envuelta con un papel en la cual se muestra un sakura blanco en la parte frontal, y en la parte trasera se encuentra el esquema Ikigai. Recomiendo ser muy cuidadoso con este, porque es algo frágil y puede maltratarse. Este libro tiene un gran enfoque en la cultura Japonesa, sobre todo en el pueblo de Ogimi, Okinawa. Los autores de este libro visitaron aquel lugar, donde se dice se encuentra la mayor cantidad de personas longevas, que poseen gran vitalidad, y las estudiaron para conocer el secreto de una vida larga y feliz. Los residentes de este pueblo, así como el resto de Japoneses, tienen un fuerte sentido de ikigai. Este es un concepto Japonés que se traduce como "propósito de vida". Nos propone que todos tenemos un ikigai dentro de sí, algunos ya lo han encontrado, mientras que otros aún no, pero todos lo tenemos. Cuando lo encontramos y lo practicamos diariamente, nuestra vida toma un significado gratificante y nos sentimos realizados internamente. Los Japoneses suelen encontrar su ikigai, desarrollarlo y practicarlo el resto de sus vidas. Lo hacen con dedicación y entusiasmo destacables. Volviendo a las personas de Ogimi, éstas tienen hábitos que hacen claro el porqué de su longevidad llena de energía y salud. Se suele hacer comparaciones de sus hábitos con los de personas de Occidente, lo cual nos hace notar que muchos hábitos que tenemos son perjudiciales sin saberlo. La alimentación (tema que me habría gustado se viera más a fondo), la actividad física y la logoterapia son tan solo algunos temas que se mencionan en este libro, y que son de suma importancia para llevar una buena vida. Sin duda una lectura amena, disfrutable y educativa. Read more
