Ikigai - (Passion) A unique talent that gives meaning to your days and drives you to share the best of yourself with the very end.
This is my first attempt at reviewing books. In fact, I read a book today after a long time (years). We all must agree that our reading habits are reduced drastically in recent years, particularly reading through physical books.
Two of them got the idea of writing about the longevity of the people a part of japan. Mainly how to find an Ikigai the purpose of life and so many other factors that all lead to living a long and happy life.
They talk about stress control, diet, how to keep ourselves active and the importance of it. Also, the flow of how much we engage and more productive when we do the work which we really like to do etc.,
They shared some of the life lessons of people who lives more than 100 years.
All the examples quoted in all different topics are top-notch.
They conclude with the following points that are important for a long and happy life.
- Stay active; Don't retire
- Take it slow
- Don't fill your stomach
- Surround yourself with good friends
- Get in shape for your next birthday
- Smile
- Reconnect with nature
- Give thanks
- Live in the moment
- Follow your Ikigai
After reading a book I started finding my Ikigai. But I somehow feel that making an impact on people would be mine.
