8: Ep 008 - Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life - Hector Garcia, Francesc Miralles

Okinawa in Japan has the highest number of people who live 100 years or more. Even the oldest Okinawans are considered healthy, blessed with the emotional, physical, and intellectual capacity to live and function independently.

Hector Garcia and Francesc Moralles examined their way of life to glean life lessons from the people and culture of Okinawa and shared these important tips in their book Ikigai. 

While factors like diet, climate, and simple outdoor lives certainly play a part in their good health, the authors found that Ikigai determines their contentment and longevity.
