My friend Vinay asked me to read Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. Ikigai is a way of living, practiced in Japan.
These are 10 core principles of Ikigai.
- Stay Active, don’t be idle
- Take it slow, things take time
- Less is more, eat less than your heart says
- Surround yourself with good friends
- Move your body, exercise, walk
- Smile, be cheerful
- Connect to nature
- Be thankful and blissful
- live in the moment
- Follow your path to your living, your purpose of living
