THE IKIGAI JOURNEY by HECTOR GARCIA

PAPERBACK

The Ikigai Journey by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles is a practical and inspiring sequel to their bestselling book Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. This paperback edition invites readers to go beyond theory and actively explore their own ikigai—their reason for being—through mindful travel, reflection, and habit-building.

Structured as a metaphorical journey through Japan, the book guides readers across three symbolic landscapes:

• Tokyo – representing the future and innovation,
• Kyoto – embodying the past and tradition,
• Ise – symbolizing the present and renewal.

Each section offers exercises, meditations, and prompts to help readers align their passions, missions, vocations, and professions. The authors emphasize that ikigai evolves with life’s seasons, and this book helps you embrace that change with intention and clarity.
