Product details
Ikigai (jap. 生き甲斐 meaning of life) is loosely translated as "that which is worth living for". Whether it's the fruit farmers of Sembikiya, ceramist Sokichi Nagae, or nearly 100-year-old Jiro Ono, the oldest
chef to be awarded three Michelin stars, they have all found their ikigai, and with it, meaning and joy in life. Based on these and other inspiring life stories and substantiated by scientific findings, Japanese neuroscientist Ken Mogi explains the Japanese philosophy that helps to find fulfilment, contentment and mindfulness in life. He also provides deep insights into Japanese culture, where the understanding of ikigai is pervasive. Japanese people strive to find and live their ikigai, whether in their careers, in their relationships with friends and family, or in their meticulously cultivated hobbies. In doing so, it is crucial to pursue one's goal with dedication and to do what one does for its own sake. The Five Pillars of ikigai: 1. start small 2. learn to let go 3. live harmony and sustainability 4. discover the joy in small things 5. be in the here and now.
