Ikigai

What’s a book that completely surprised you?

Recently I read a book named ‘Ikigai’ the Japanese secret to a long and happy life. In this book writer emphasize staying active, eating moderately, nurturing friendships, living in the moment, and finding purpose.

The thought of ‘Ikigai’ is all about longevity this reveals many secrets of Japanese life style which completely surprises me. The fact that Japanese people make an effort to stay active until the very end, are key element of their secret to long life.

If you want to stay busy even when there’s no need to work, there has to be an Ikigai on your horizon, a purpose that guide you throughout your life and pushes you to make things of beauty and utility for the community and yourself.
