Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life demonstrates the art of living through the concept of 'Ikigai', which translates to "Reason for Being" in Japanese. Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles through the book explores the Japanese philosophy that focuses on finding purpose and meaning in life. The article delves into the various aspects of ikigai, including its origins, principles, and practical applications. It offers insights and guidance on how to discover and cultivate one's own ikigai, leading to a more fulfilling and joyful existence. The research emphasizes the importance of aligning one's passions, talents, values, and contributions to society in order to live a purpose-driven life. It draws inspiration from the Japanese belief that having a purpose and eating healthy are the key ingredients to individual success. Through real-life instances and anecdotes, the authors illustrate the transformative power of ikigai and its potential to bring joy and fulfillment to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. The article explores the concept of ikigai as a live precept of the long life of Okinawans and as a form of logotherapy or the "joie de vivre of life." Ikigai and occupational therapy are similar as both are based on the idea of finding a purpose in life and engaging in activities that one enjoys and is competent at. Discovering and nurturing ones ikigai is an ongoing process, but it has the potential to unlock a deeper sense of contentment and fulfillment that transcends the mundane challenges of everyday life.
