Book Summary: Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles

What gets you out of bed in the morning? In Ikigai, authors Héctor García and Francesc Miralles explore the Japanese concept of purpose—your ikigai—as the key to living a longer, more fulfilling life. Blending philosophy, science, and the wisdom of Okinawa's longest-living residents, this international bestseller offers a gentle yet powerful roadmap to meaning, balance, and joy.

This chapter-by-chapter summary breaks down the book's essential lessons, from finding flow in daily activities to nurturing strong community ties, eating wisely, and embracing simplicity. It highlights how small, intentional choices aligned with your purpose can lead to a healthier, happier, and more inspired life.

Ideal for readers seeking calm, clarity, and direction, this summary captures the heart of Ikigai in a concise, easy-to-absorb format.
