Ikigai

I came across a book - "IKIGAI - The Japanese secret to a Long and Happy Life" by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles.



I remember my state of mind was confused, scared, No definite goal and purpose in Life when coincidentally i came across this wonderful book

Maybe it was like the universe was helping me and i grabbed the copy without thinking twice

Its been wonderful reading this book and i definitely recommend it to everyone
