Ikigai
I like this idea of ikigsi and that once we find ours it can help lead to happiness. And I also like that this pulled stories and ideas from some of the world’s oldest communities as to what leads to a long life. And they are all things that we can and should be doing ourselves.

I found some of the info in here really interesting! This book was sort of like an overview of longevity - it almost felt like it didn’t stick to one topic all that well. The authors had a lot of ideas about health and happiness and resilience but the chapters seemed almost a little disjointed - a collection of ideas that were loosely related rather than a story of a Japanese village like I more expected.
I enjoyed reading it but it was different than I felt it would be from the blurb. Less about finding your passion, more about the importance of having one. More spirituality than expected, some advice feeling like a punch list rather than a deeply explored concept.

I found this to be a good introduction to the concept of ikigai, but it lacked in some aspects. I had hoped for there to be more insight into the entire lives of centenarians instead of just a snapshot of their elderly years. I also am left feeling uncertain as to how ikigai can be incorporated into Western society where the culture is so very different and only just warming to these sort of concepts.
Nonetheless, it was an informative, easy, and thought provoking read.
