Ikigai : The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life
Language: English Publication details: London Hutchinson 2017Description: 194p. illISBN: 9781786330895 (HB)Subject(s): Self-actualization -- Psychology | Longevity -- Japan | Quality of life | GeneralSummary: Embrace the Japanese concept of ikigai and discover a renewed sense of purpose. Be mindful of small pleasures each day to build a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. Keep mentally and physically active to ease the ageing process. The Japanese term ikigai has no direct English translation but essentially means 'reason for living' or 'value in life'. The concept posits that a person's ikigai lies at the intersection of four interconnected aspects of life: what we love, what we're good at, what the world needs and what we can be paid for. Ikigai, therefore, is the ideal balance between our passion, mission, vocation and profession. This concise, easily accessible book offers readers practical advice to identify what really motivates them to get up and go every morning and how seeking their personal ikigai can improve their daily lives.Current library | Home library | Call number | Materials specified | Status | Date due | Barcode |
