Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles

The book introduces ikigai as the intersection of four elements:
• What you love
• What you are good at
• What the world needs
• What you can be paid for
By aligning these, you discover your personal ikigai—your unique purpose that brings meaning and satisfaction. Drawing on research from Okinawa, home to some of the world’s longest-living people, the authors highlight how lifestyle, community, and mindset contribute to health and happiness.
