The book Ikigai is written by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles. This book is based upon a formula known as Ikigai which helps us to achieve our goals. If we find our Ikigai, then technology cannot replace us. In Japan, there is an Island known as Okinawa where people are living for more than 100 years and there 80 or 90 years old people happily work for the development of the country and never retire.

             In the world, the happiest people are found in Okinawa and they live a peaceful life. In Japan, there is no system of retirement as people find their Ikigai due to which at any age they can work. Ikigai means reason for living and the Japanese believe that every person in this world lives for a reason and if you don’t know your reason for living so you don’t enjoy life living like if we don’t get a job according to our ability so we don’t enjoy doing that job.

            We will be under stress and our minds will always focus on finding the reason for living life and this formula Ikigai helps us to find the reason for our life. For example, when we finish college or university, we will have our degree with us and this time we have to take a big decision that what we have to do in our life, just spend time on work or do that work which we like or do that work for which we are capable or that work from which we get money or do that work which the world wants.

            Ikigai is a combination of four parts that help us to make the right decision. We should not just find passion which is a part of ikigai but through passion, we should accomplish all other parts like blogging which is your passion and you are good at blogging. After that, you are getting money which becomes your profession and by this blogging, the world gets information which becomes your vocation, and when the world gets happy so your mission becomes accomplished. Means, that your ikigai is blogging. When these things are done so you live a peaceful life without stress.
