“Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb
According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—the place where passion, mission, vocation, and profession intersect—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.
In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?

老年人的养生书哈哈。前面小部分关于心理治疗的内容还挺有意思。比如存在心理治疗和ikigai之前的关系,都是让人找到生活的意义。特别喜欢的一句话,he who has a WHY to live for can bear with almost any HOW。当一个人不清楚自己存在的理由时,生活会变得很空虚迷茫甚至痛苦。
评分每个人的Ikigai都不一样。但是可以做到吃饭八分饱,温和的运动,不忧愁,有烦恼也不上心,活在当下。写得非常朴实,言简意赅。
评分跟自己一直以来所秉持的长寿健康还有积极地活着的信念不谋而合,更有我喜欢的冲绳作为研究对象。
