Discover the ancient Japanese secret ways to see joy, meaning, and purpose in every single day of your life. Ikigai, or the Japanese concept of finding your purpose, is the key to living a meaningful life. If there’s one people group who have mastered the art of living - and living well, it’s definitely the Okinawans of Japan. Famous for being the world’s longest-living people, they attribute their joy and contentment to finding their ikigai. It’s the reason why they live longer, happier, and better lives than the rest of us. So how does knowing your ikigai change your life?

Walking is something we do every day. But in Japan, it has been elevated into an art—a practice of strength, mindfulness, and longevity. From the efficient strides of samurai couriers and Zen monks to today’s science-backed fitness routines, Japanese walking (Namba Aruki and beyond) has helped people build endurance, calm the mind, and live longer, healthier lives. Now, you can bring this ancient-meets-modern practice into your own life with a clear, practical guide.

We alleviate our stress by shopping for more stuff, binge eating, and engaging in time-wasting activities. We fill our lives with needless activities, relationships, and clutter.

It’s called minimalism. In this audiobook, you’ll hear proven strategies on how to practice minimalism.
