The Japanese secrets to a long, healthy, happy and meaningful life. A booklet as disconcerting as it is practical as a life guide.
What a refreshing little book on some of my most important life themes: healthy, happy, long and meaningful living. The principles of the Japanese super centenarians (+110) are not only tried and tested and recognisable. Most of them are also easily achievable for us Westerners.
Over the next few years, this booklet will become a personal guide. A gift to myself and all those who value meaning and health. What has stayed with me most is the attention and contribution to the other, rather than to yourself.
Thousands of people are searching for existential meaning in our hectic and capitalist society. Despite material affluence, they often feel the frustration or lack of fulfilment when they look back on their lives.
This booklet gives meaning back to life and work, by searching for your Ikigai.
Discover, be surprised and make others happy with this golden source of inspiration. The accompanying funny and at the same time super good TED talk by Tim Tamashiro will already get you off to a good start. The booklet then takes you deeper and gives you a series of exercises to get started right away.
