Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

Héctor García (Author), Francesc Miralles (Author) Format: Hardcover

2017

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • 2 MILLION+ COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE “Workers looking for more fulfilling positions should start by identifying their ikigai.” ―Business Insider “One of the unintended—yet positive—consequences of the [pandemic] is that it is forcing people to reevaluate their jobs, careers, and lives. Use this time wisely, find your personal ikigai, and live your best life.” ―Forbes Find your ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) to live longer and bring more meaning and joy to all your days. “Only staying active will make you want to live a hundred years.” —Japanese proverb According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy. In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. Ikigai reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day? What’s your ikigai?

El conde Lucanor

Don Juan Manuel

1839

Don Juan Manuel (1282-1348), noble directamente emparentado con las familias que durante varios siglos ocuparon el trono de Castilla, es un caso anómalo en la literatura medieval española en la que abundan las obras anónimas. Sin embargo, entre su vida pública, de la que se conserva numerosa documentación, y la imagen que de sí mismo ofrecen sus páginas hay sorprendentes contrastes. Sus ocho obras conservadas, en las que predomina la intención de adoctrinar a los jóvenes vástagos de la nobleza, lo convierten en el prosista más importante del siglo XIV. En El conde Lucanor, su obra más conocida, alcanzan culminación y síntesis las tradiciones cuentísticas del mundo oriental y de los predicadores cristianos. La popularidad obtenida por los exempla incluidos en la primera parte no debe, sin embargo, oscurecer la habilidad con que Don Juan Manuel organiza el conjunto y combina distintos recursos retóricos. La pareja formada por el conde Lucanor y su ayo Patronio traspasa con sorprendente modernidad los borrosos límites que separan la realidad de la fición y entra por derecho propio a formar parte de los personajes famosos de la literatura universal.
