Ebook About Los Angeles Times bestseller • More than 1.5 million copies sold“If hygge is the art of doing nothing, ikigai is the art of doing something—and doing it with supreme focus and joy.” —New York PostBring meaning and joy to all your days with this internationally bestselling guide to the Japanese concept of ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy)—the happiness of always being busy—as revealed by the daily habits of the world’s longest-living people.*And from the same authors, don’t miss The Book of Ichigo Ichie—about making the most of every moment in your life.** * *What’s your ikigai?“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?A PENGUIN LIFE TITLEBook Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life Review :
The rather exotic sounding name of this book, ikigai, as the authors explain, is relatively straightforward. “This Japanese concept, which translates roughly as “the happiness of always being busy,” is, “like logotherapy, but it goes a step beyond.” Logotherapy, they explain, “…helps people find their purpose in life.”It is a good book. My overall rating of the book has little to do with the quality of the writing or the underlying concept. The former is quite good and the latter is valid. My rating is strictly personal and relates more to who might be considering adding it to their reading list. Not a “don’t,” for sure. More like, “understand it for what it is.”For those who are ardent fans of all things philosophical and psychological, as I am, this is a good book that plows relatively little new ground. Finding purpose in life, keeping busy, eating well, and finding connection to the world around you is important. It’s ground, however, that has been covered by many authors over the years.If you haven’t sampled of these past triumphs you will enjoy this book very much. It is a great and easily read introduction to the topics of longevity and the benefits of living in the moment. And it chronicles many of the philosophies and prior contributions to the topic, from Buddhism to Stoicism, with a stop at the Serenity Prayer. Eastern, and particularly Japanese, contributions are given extra attention. Wabi-sabi and ichi-go ischi-e, for example, are explained in some detail, but remain an overview. Relatively newer concepts like antifragility are also explained. It even covers the Six Healing Sounds introduced by Sun Simiao in the sixth century. (This one was new to me.)A lot of the book turns on Ogimi, in the Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, which holds the distinction of being the oldest village on the planet. (In that many of the residents have lived very long lives.) It’s a delightful visit. Having lived in China for nine years and having visited Japan many times over the course of more than three decades, I have a deep fondness for places like Ogimi. I’m not sure, however, that they aren’t byproducts of the totality of Japanese culture. Could they take seed in places like California or Virginia, for example?Part of my ikigai is to be a nice person and not think disparagingly of anyone. And I am not here. This book was an interesting read for me, and may be a revelational read for you. I make no judgment on that. I just give you my experience as a reader.This book would, in my opinion, make an excellent gift for anyone in your life that might need a little boost or is otherwise hard to buy for. There is absolutely nothing here that could meet with controversy or resistance. It is decidedly upbeat throughout.And that is saying a lot of good things about any book. I strained my eye sockets rolling my eyes while reading this book. Honestly, you'd get more value out of reading one of the free magazines at the entrance of Whole Foods. You may not learn anything, but you'll also not have to spend any money to not learn anything.The most valuable thing I gained from this book was the Venn Diagram on the back cover, and even that isn't original. It's someone else's diagram. Screen capture that and print it out.The rest of the book is basically saying, "You need an ikigai. We met some people who are old. We like Japanese culture. Here's some possibly-related behaviors. ... Don't worry about genetics or anything scientifically-proven. We have anecdotes ... some are related; some will just appeal to your emotions. ...Ooh, here are some other Asian activities that may or may not be related to living a long time. By the way, I know we're supposed to be talking about ikigai, but we're more interested in living a long time, so we're going to focus on longevity for most of the book. Here are some quotes from other books because we don't have any original thoughts of our own. Here's a list of things you should do that someone else came up with. "If you love platitudes that have no real substance behind them, if you've been known to join a cult or two in your life, if you're easily swayed by broad statements with anecdotal evidence, ... basically, if you're incapable of choosing any path at all in your life and you want someone to point in about 20 directions you can go, you'll love this book.183 pages into the book, we get to one of the most maddening statements that perfectly summarizes this whole book: "There is no perfect strategy to connecting with our ikigai. But what we learned from the Okinawans is that we should not worry too much about finding it." ... Really? Then what was the purpose of this book?"Life is not a problem to be solved." (Great. Then we don't need any self-help books at all. Let's just eliminate that category of books altogether.) "Just remember to have something that keeps you busy doing what you love while being surrounded by the people who love you." (Did you seriously not know this before reading this book? Did you believe you were a prisoner to not doing anything at all ... or doing things you hate ... around people who despise you?)What an utter waste of time this book was. Please don't waste yours.
