Sample Book Insights:

#1 The word ikigai is a Japanese word that describes the pleasures and meanings of life. It is no exaggeration to say that Jiro Ono, the chef at Sukiyabashi Jiro, owes his incredibly fabulous success to the refinement of this most Japanese ethos.

#2 Ikigai is a Japanese word that is used in various contexts, and can apply to small everyday things as well as big goals and achievements. It is a very democratic concept, steeped in a celebration of the diversity of life. It is open to everyone.

#3 Ikigai is the reason you get out of bed in the morning. It resides in the realm of small things, and it is important to recognize their richness. In a world where our value as people and our own sense of self-worth is determined primarily by our success, many people are under unnecessary pressure. You can have ikigai, a value to live by, without necessarily having to prove yourself in that way.

#4 The ikigai question was asked in the Ōsaki study, and those who answered yes had a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who answered no. Those who answered positively about ikigai did exercise more than those who gave a negative response.
