"This edition is the result of our journey to Okinawa, the island with the highest percentage of centenarians in the world. [...] According to the Japanese, we all have an ikigai. Some have found it and know it, while others have it within them but are still searching for it. Ikigai is hidden inside us and requires a patient search to reach the deepest layers of our being and find it. According to the inhabitants of Okinawa, the island with the most centenarians in the world, ikigai is the reason we wake up in the morning."
