ইকিগাই - জাপানীদের সুখি জীবনের রহস্য
অর্থপূর্ণ জীবন কীভাবে সুখের সন্ধান দিতে পারে, সেটি নিয়ে ইকিগাই; জাপানিদের দীর্ঘ ও সুখী জীবনের রহস্য বইটি লেখা হয়েছে। লেখক হেক্টর গারসিয়া ও ফ্রান্সেস মিরালেস ইকিগাই সম্পর্কে জানার পর এর রহস্য উদ্ঘাটনে উদ্গ্রীব হয়ে ওঠেন। এ জন্য তারা দুজন পাড়ি জমান জাপানের দক্ষিণে অবস্থিত ওকিনাওয়া দ্বীপে। এই দ্বীপেই পৃথিবীর সবচেয়ে বেশি শতায়ুধারীর বসবাস। ওকিনাওয়ার বাসিন্দাদের বিশ্বাস ইকিগাই তাদের জীবনের বেঁচে থাকার কারণ। লেখকের মতো আমার কাছেও ইকিগাই একটা রহস্যাবৃত শব্দ। ওকিনাওয়া দ্বীপ, সেখানকার মানুষ ও তাদের জীবনযাত্রা সম্পর্কে জানার পর আমার কৌতূহল তো কমেনি, বরং আরও বেড়েছে। প্রত্যেকের জীবনে একটা উদ্দেশ্য রয়েছে। সে উদ্দেশ্য অপূর্ণ থাকার মানে জীবনটাই যেন অর্থহীন হয়ে যাওয়া। ইকিগাই আমাদের জীবনের সেই উদ্দেশ্য, যা একটি জীবনকে পূর্ণতা দিতে পারে।
