Ikigai is a Japanese word that describes the joys and meaning of life. The word consists of two parts: "iki" (to live) and "gai" (reason). Ikigai represents the Japanese wisdom in life, the delicacy, ethics, and actions deeply rooted in Japanese society, which have evolved over hundreds of years within the nation. The word Ikigai is used in Japanese in various contexts, and it can be used for simple daily events as well as for major goals and achievements. It is a common word that people use in their daily lives without realizing that it has a special and distinctive meaning. However, what should be noted is that a person can experience Ikigai in their life without it necessarily being accompanied by professional success. Thus, we see that it is a principle in which the multiplicity of life manifests itself in its most beautiful forms. It is correct to say that Ikigai leads to success, but the opposite is not true; meaning that success is not a necessary condition for the presence of Ikigai. Ikigai is a state available to each one of us. In this book, author Ken Mogi shows you how you can attain Ikigai without being Japanese, through the five pillars of Ikigai: "starting small, releasing yourself, harmony and sustainability, the joy of small things, living in the moment." These five pillars are your guide to happiness, as presented in (The Little Book of Ikigai), which its author hopes will be a support to those interested in the principle of Ikigai. Achieving Ikigai can completely and radically change your life, extend your lifespan, make you enjoy good health, become happier and more content, and reduce your stress. In addition, this concept of Ikigai can make you more creative and successful. You can enjoy all these benefits if you know how to appreciate this life philosophy and learn how to apply it to your life.
