Ikigai book review

 “Ikigai” by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles is like a warm, friendly chat about the secret to a long and happy life. It’s all about this cool concept called ikigai, which is basically the reason you jump out of bed each morning.

The book takes us to Okinawa, where people seem to forget to die because they’re too busy enjoying life. The authors have done their homework, chatting with these amazing old-timers and figuring out that having a purpose—their ikigai—is what keeps them going strong.

It’s not just storytelling, though. The book is packed with tips on how to find your own ikigai by mixing what you love, what you’re good at, and what can bring in some cash—all while making the world a better place.

Reading “Ikigai” feels like getting advice from a wise friend who wants you to chill more, eat better, move your body, and hang out with people who make you smile. It’s a down-to-earth guide that’s all about embracing the little things and finding your own happy groove in life.

So yeah, it’s a pretty cool read if you’re into finding joy in the everyday stuff and living a life that’s full of meaning. Plus, it’s not preachy or complicated—just good vibes and real talk.
