 Ikegai, the Japanese secret to a long and happy life by Hector Garcia and Francesc Mirales is a self-help book that explores the Japanese concept of Ikegai, which is roughly translated as, A Reason for Being. The book argues that Ikegai is the key to living a long, happy, and fulfilling life. The authors begin by introducing the concept of Ikegai and explaining its four pillars, what you allow, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. They then go on to explore each of these pillars in more detail, providing examples from their own lives and from the lives of the people they have interviewed. The book is full of practical advice on how to find your Ikegai, including exercises, worksheets, and interviews with people who have found their Ikegai. The authors also discuss the importance of resilience, gratitude, and mindfulness in living a meaningful life. Thanks for watching. Follow for more video.
