A Year of Ikigai

Nicholas Kemp - A Year of Ikigai by Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc

A Year of Ikigai provides 365 bite-size pieces of Japanese philosophy for finding meaning in everyday living.

Ikigai is not a Venn diagram with a sweet spot in the middle. It's not your bliss, nor is it your one life purpose. It's not a word or concept from Okinawa. It’s not related to longevity. And it doesn’t mean that you never retire. So, what is ikigai? Iki comes from the verb ikiru, which means “to live.” But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your “everyday life.” The concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living.

In A Year of Ikigai, ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai through 365 days of practical tips, exercises, and real-life examples to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer the most important question: What gets you up in the morning?
