'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.
*Find out how to live a more harmonious life thanks to NAGOMI, the
ancient Japanese philosophy that helps you find balance and peace
in everything you do* There is no translation for the word nagomi
in the English language, and yet it at the very heart of the
Japanese way of life. A popular and common concept in Japan, to
achieve nagomi is to have peace of mind, emotional balance and
wellbeing, ranging from the way food is prepared (mixing sweet,
salt, sour, bitter and umami) to the way the ephemerality of the
cherry blossom season is celebrated. Global bestselling author Ken
Mogi illustrates why it's important to value both the positive and
negative experiences in life so that you can truly find a balance
and live more harmoniously. In The Way of Nagomi, Ken explains how
to apply nagomi to every aspect of life so you can: - Maintain
happy relationships with loved ones, even if you disagree with them
- Learn new things while always staying true to yourself - Find a
sense of peace in whatever you are doing - Mix and blend unlikely
components to strike a harmonious balance - Have a greater
understanding of the Japanese philosophy of life By delving into
Japan's history, traditions and culture and providing a toolkit to
help us to achieve satisfaction in our lives, Ken shows how we can
all create nagomi in our lives and enjoy the benefits of a more
peaceful and satisfactory life.
