Ken Mogi “Ikigai”
Ken Mogi is a brain researcher and studied natural sciences and law in Tokyo and Cambridge.
With his popular science non-fiction books, he has made a name for himself far beyond Japan's borders.
His book “Ikigai.
The Japanese Art of Living” became a bestseller in Germany and other countries.
The insight into the secrets of Japanese life philosophy is what sets the book apart and motivates readers to learn bit by bit.
Ikigai is "what it's worth living for." Whether the fruit farmers of Sembikiya, the ceramicist Sokichi Nagae or the 92-year-old Jiro Ono, the oldest chef awarded three Michelin stars: they have all found their ikigai and with it meaning and joy in life.
Using these and other inspiring life stories and based on scientific findings, Japanese neuroscientist Ken Mogi explains the Japanese philosophy that helps to find fulfillment, satisfaction and mindfulness in life.

Francesc Miralles, García (Kirai) Héctor “Ikigai”
With practical and quick-to-use instructions, the book shows how to discover your own Ikigai.
The included stories also provide an insight into the way of life and the secret that lies behind Ikigai.
The book is a help for everyone who is looking for the meaning of life.
What is the secret to a long life?
According to the Japanese, every person has an Ikigai.
Ikigai is what makes it worth getting up in the morning, or simply: “the meaning of life”.
The Ikigai is hidden within us and we must search patiently to find it.
If we succeed, we have the chance to grow old healthily and happily.
The model for this is the inhabitants of the Japanese island of Okinawa, where most centenarians live.

Caroline de Surany “Ikigai – the 12-week program for happiness and health”
Caroline de Surany has written a lovingly designed book with daily exercises, games, anecdotes, inspiration and food for thought that creates magic in everyday life.
In the spirit of Ikigai, the book offers a wonderful reason to get up in the morning for twelve weeks (or longer).
Ikigai is the Japanese term for the personal secret to happiness found through thorough and honest self-exploration.
In a light tone, the Parisian Caroline de Surany elegantly combines the most important concepts of Japanese philosophy with imaginative challenges and original tasks - and thus combines Japanese wisdom with French joie de vivre.
