Ikigai, Authors: Hector García and Francesc Miralles

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that loosely translates to "a reason for being" or "a reason to wake up in the morning." It represents the sweet spot where your passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect — leading to a meaningful and fulfilling life.

The book explores this idea by blending philosophy, psychology, lifestyle practices, and interviews with residents of Okinawa, one of the world's "Blue Zones" known for its high concentration of centenarians.

"Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.”
