Introducing IKIGAI: find your passions and live with joy Ikigai is a Japanese phenomenon commonly understood as “your reason to get up in the morning.” Ikigai can be small moments: the morning air, a cup of coffee, a compliment. It can also be deep convictions: a fulfilling job, lasting friendships, balanced health. Whether big or small, your ikigai is the path to success and happiness in your own life. Author Ken Mogi introduces five pillars of ikigai to help you make the most of each day and become your most authentic self: 1. starting small > focus on the details 2. releasing yourself > accept who you are 3. harmony and sustainability > rely on others 4. the joy of little things > appreciate sensory pleasure 5. being in the here and now > find your flow. Weaving together insights from Japanese history, philosophy, and modern culture, plus stories from renowned sushi chef Jiro Ono, anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, and others, Mogi skillfully shows the way to awaken your ikigai.

NAGOMI is the Japanese ideology that advocates embracing everything life throws at us so we can live peacefully and harmoniously.There is no translation for the word nagomi in the English language, and yet it should be in everyone’s vocabulary. A popular and common concept in Japan, to achieve nagomi is to have peace of mind, emotional balance and wellbeing. This philosophy can be found at the very heart of Japanese culture, from the way food is prepared (mixing sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami) to the way the ephemerality of the cherry blossom season is celebrated.We know that every life will have joys and sorrows, opportunities and misfortunes, but in The Way of Nagomi, global bestselling author Ken Mogi explains why it’s important to truly accept the way of the world and balance all of these experiences, both positive and negative. By delving into Japan’s history, traditions and culture and providing a toolkit to help us to achieve satisfaction in our lives, Ken shows how we can all create nagomi for ourselves.

The Japanese perspective that made The Little Book of Ikigai a worldwide bestseller meets the wisdom of the ancients. The result is a new version of stoicism that is practical, global, future-proof and, above all, optimistic.In a world overflowing with abundance and information, the calm and clarity of stoicism has never been more necessary. In this new book, bestselling author Ken Mogi explores the ancient Greek philosophy as well as its resonance with other cultures around the world, not least his own Japanese perspective.With his expertise as a neuroscientist, Mogi uncovers the cognitive foundations of the resilience that is so central to stoicism. Rooted in science, he finds in stoicism robust coping strategies for the challenges of modern life, and ways to balance self-discipline with enjoying life's pleasures.But stoicism is also a mindset that uniquely equips us to handle the future, from global challenges such as the climate emergency to the rise and rise of artificial intelligence. Thinking like a stoic, he argues, can offer us not just a path for personal growth and wisdom, but the key to the future of humanity.

Nagomi trae ligereza, armonía y felicidad a tu vida. Ken Mogi explica este principio de vida profundamente arraigado en la cotidianidad japonesa. Las personas que han alcanzado nagomi saben que la felicidad incluye también la infelicidad, el amor incluye el desamor, el altruismo incluye el interés propio y el placer incluye el trabajo. Solo se puede llevar una vida armoniosa si se logra aceptar todos los aspectos de la vida y equilibrarlos entre sí. Este es el camino japonés hacia la alegría de vivir.

In einer Welt, die von Überfluss und Informationen geprägt ist, sind Gelassenheit und Klarheit notwendiger denn je. In diesem Buch untersucht der Bestsellerautor Ken Mogi die antike griechische Philosophie des Stoizismus sowie ihre Resonanz in anderen Kulturen weltweit, nicht zuletzt aus seiner eigenen japanischen Perspektive. Denn die Lehren der Stoiker finden in der japanischen, Zen-buddhistisch geprägten Lebensphilosophie einen überraschenden Widerhall. Stoizismus ist aber auch eine Denkweise, die uns in einzigartiger Weise für die Zukunft rüstet und Wege zu persönlichem Wachstum eröffnet. Der Neurowissenschaftler Ken Mogi »befragt« die Lehren der Stoiker nach unseren heutigen Themen wie Kreativität, Bewusstsein, freier Wille, Unendlichkeit und der Zukunft der menschlichen Zivilisation. Und er deckt die kognitiven Grundlagen der Resilienz auf, die für den Stoizismus so zentral sind. Denn der Stoizismus bietet robuste Bewältigungsstrategien für die Herausforderungen des modernen Lebens und eröffnet Wege, Selbstdisziplin mit den Freuden des Lebens in Einklang zu bringen.
