How to ikigai

Live Your Best Life
Ancient, time-tested wisdom: Okinawa, Japan is a
tiny, tiny island south of the Japanese mainland where people live their
life’s purpose every day. How is it possible for so many to live each
day in such meaningful ways? The Okinawan concept of Ikigai. How to Ikigai describes the lifestyle choices that have led to an island full of fulfilled, long-living people.Magical reality come to life: Examples
of ikigai in action are often magical. Take David Michiels. David
stuttered severely well into his adulthood. In clinical terms, his
stutter was difficult to treat. But David started to work in a liquor
store. Before long, his focus turned to one specific section of the
sales floor: the scotch section. As he spent more of his days learning
about scotch, he began to share his knowledge with customers.
Eventually, David noticed that his stutter vanished when he talked to
anyone about scotch. Over time, David’s passion led to a new life.
Today, he is a renowned whiskey expert, traveling the world tasting and
purchasing whiskey on behalf of his employer. He feels his life is
meaningful because of ikigai.A humble look at happiness: Bringing together an exploration of joy not unlike that of The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a look inward reminiscent of The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, and deep truths like those explored by Singer in The Surrender Experiment, How to Ikigai describes the concept of Ikigai with clarity and meaning.How to Ikigai explains
a simple but abstract map for living a meaningful life. After reading
this book, you will understand how to implement Ikigai’s four directions
in your own life:
Do what you love
Do what you’re good at
Do what the world needs
Do what you can be rewarded for
