“Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” ¨DBusiness Insider “One of the unintended-yet positive-consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ¨DForbesFind your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days.”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-where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap-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? Dimensions ? : ? 0.9 x 5 x 7.1 inches

Reviews
"Ordered the black colorway and the finish is clean with no rough edges. Brought it to a tailgate and it performed. Color is slightly darker than the listing photo but I actually like it. Customer service was helpful when I had a question."
"Got the travel size and the screen is sharp and bright in daylight. Brought it to a tailgate and it performed. Slightly heavier than expected, still well balanced though. Definitely a repeat customer after this."
"Got the charcoal one and it feels sturdy in the hand. I use it in the garage most evenings. I'm in Boise, ID. Shipping was quick and the item delivered."
"Got the navy version and the compartments keep everything organized. Brought it camping and it held up fine. The strap is a little long for me, easy enough to adjust. I'm in Fresno, CA. Exactly what I needed."
"Packaging was secure and nothing moved. I use it in the garage most evenings. I'm in Orlando, FL. No complaints so far."
"Got the white finish and it fits true to size with no surprises. I've had it on the kitchen counter daily. No complaints so far."
"Chose the king size and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. I keep it in the car for road trips. Instructions could be a bit clearer, but I figured it out. Would buy again."
"Got the white finish and the compartments keep everything organized. Used it at the desk for video calls all month. I'm in Seattle, WA. Happy with my purchase."
"Shipping was faster than I expected. Compartments keep everything organized. It's handled my daily dog walks without issue. I'm in Phoenix, AZ. Pleasantly surprised."
"Tracking info was accurate the whole way. It's handled my daily dog walks without issue. One minor scuff on the corner, purely cosmetic. Worth the money."
