    About this ebook

    Ikigai by Hector Garcia

    What gives your life purpose? In Japanese culture, the concept of "ikigai," which can be roughly translated as one's "reason for being," holds great significance. It serves as a daily motivator and a source of happiness, often being the driving force behind why people wake up each morning.
    Unlike the idea of retirement as permanently leaving the workforce, many Japanese centenarians continue to engage in activities they love for as long as their health permits. This cultural mindset, deeply rooted in Japan, contributes to their longevity.
    Studies on longevity suggest that having a strong sense of community and a well-defined ikigai are equally as important as adhering to a healthful Japanese diet. Regions like Okinawa, which is part of the Blue Zones where people enjoy longer and healthier lives, show fewer chronic illnesses, less inflammation, and lower rates of dementia.
