The Ikigai Journey is a continuation of the authors’ earlier work on the Japanese concept of ikigai, which can be described as the reason for living or the purpose that gives meaning to life. In this book, Héctor García and Francesc Miralles take the idea further by presenting ikigai not only as a philosophical concept but also as a practical path that can be applied in daily life. The writing style is clear and inspirational, blending cultural insights, personal stories, and practical exercises to guide readers toward discovering their own sense of purpose.

The authors structure the journey as a series of lessons inspired by Japanese wisdom, combining ideas from mindfulness, simplicity, resilience, and community living. They encourage readers to slow down, pay attention to what truly matters, and align work, relationships, and lifestyle with personal values. Unlike typical self help books, this one emphasizes balance and harmony rather than quick success or material achievement. The inclusion of real life examples and reflective activities makes the reading both engaging and practical.

Overall, The Ikigai Journey is a thoughtful and motivating guide that invites readers to explore deeper meaning in their everyday lives. While some readers may find the ideas familiar if they have already read the authors’ first book, the value of this work lies in its practical orientation and gentle encouragement. It is especially useful for anyone seeking clarity, fulfillment, and direction in an increasingly busy and uncertain world. By following the lessons of ikigai, readers are reminded that true happiness is often found in simplicity, connection, and purpose.
