Wonderfully written. A month ago, I finished the book Ikigai @samostically and Im so happy to read someone wrote a blog dedicated to this book. Ikigai is a masterpiece and a humanistic book. It touches the meaning we have already in our life, the joy in the things we are passionate, and the purpose we see in what we love or already loved. The journey of the authors to bring this book into life touched me deeply. They had to meet supercentenarians in Japan, famous personalities like Hayao Miyazaki and some skilled workers in famous companies. They even had parties to specific communities and interviewed people who already found their Ikigai. The book is not just about the Ikigai concept, it also tried to bring us with them on their real life journey, narrating every inch of what happened so we can fully understood the sentiments and narratives actually told before written in the book. Ikigai brought meaning and purpose to my life after reading. Such a wonderful craft. A very beautiful one. And yes, psychology concepts were brought in the book. The "A Man's Search For Meaning" even was emphasized there and other therapies. So it was really interesting.
