"<p><b>Find purpose and meaning in your day-to-day life with <i>A Year of Ikigai</i>, a collection of short and simple daily reads, over 365 days, for easy understanding and integration of this Japanese philosophy.<br /><br /></b>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. <b>So, what is ikigai? <i>Iki</i> comes from the verb <i>ikiru</i>, which means “to live.”</b> But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your “everyday life.” The <b>concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living.</b> <br /><br />In<i> A Year of Ikigai, </i>ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the <b>Japanese concept of ikigai </b>through <b>365 days of practical tips, reflections, and real-life examples</b> to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer <b><i>the</i> most important question:</b><b>What gets you up in the morning?</b></p>"
