'FORGET HYGGE. IT'S ALL ABOUT IKIGAI (THAT'S JAPANESE FOR A HAPPY
LIFE)' The Times 'WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSATLANTIC ASPIRATIONAL
LIVING, IT'S NOW ALL ABOUT IKIGAI' ELLE 'THE NEW LIFESTYLE MANTRA'
Sunday Times Find out how to live a long and happy life thanks to
the ikigai miracle, a Japanese philosophy that helps you find
fulfilment, joy and mindfulness in everything you do. It is
extraordinary that Japanese men's longevity ranks 4th in the world,
while Japanese women's ranks 2nd. But perhaps this comes as no
surprise when you know that the Japanese understanding of ikigai is
embedded in their daily life and in absolutely everything that they
do. In their professional careers, in their relationships with
family members, in the hobbies they cultivate so meticulously. Ken
Mogi identifies five key pillars to ikigai: Pillar 1: Starting
small Pillar 2: Releasing yourself Pillar 3:Harmony and
sustainability Pillar 4:The joy of little things Pillar 5:Being in
the here and now The Japanese talk about ikigai as 'a reason to get
up in the morning'. It is something that keeps one's enthusiasm for
life going, whether you are a cleaner of the famous Shinkansen
bullet train, the mother of a newborn child or a Michelin-starred
sushi chef. The Five Pillars at the heart of everything they do.
But how do you find your own ikigai? How does ikigai contribute to
happiness? Neuroscientist and bestselling Japanese writer Ken Mogi
provides an absorbing insight into this way of life, incorporating
scientific research and first-hand experience, and providing a
colourful narrative of Japanese culture and history along the way.
