A Best-selling motivational book based on the Japanese concept of finding happiness in everyday life, now for young readers!

The Japanese people say everybody has an “Ikigai,” or a reason to live. Some people have found their Ikigai and are aware of it. Other people have it inside but have not found it yet. This concept, Ikigai, is one of the secrets for a long, active, and happy life.

It is no accident that this Book is in your hands. It has come looking for you because you are ready to carry out a mission – the most fascinating journey of your life. This journey has no map because the territory has not been explored before. It is a brand-new mysterious world you alone can discover as you walk through it. You will sometimes wonder what to do or even feel lost, but it’s worth carrying on because there’s a great prize waiting for you at the end: your reason for being!

Welcome to the Journey to find your Ikigai!
