  Life is sometimes a never-ending haze of mundane, meaningless activities for many of us. It makes sense why our bodies are complaining by getting sick so frequently and why our mental health is deteriorating. 
    
   Let's focus on the Japanese instead. There is another key to their long lives besides only their traditional, healthful food. 
    
   You can use it even though that secret is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. 
    
   Ikigai - The common translation of this difficult Japanese concept is ""a reason for being"". You won't have to worry about finding inspiration or overcoming ennui once you've discovered your Ikigai. You simply do what you enjoy doing, and since you are such a skilled professional, other people really pay you a LOT OF MONEY for it! 
    
   In this book, you will: 
    
   Understand how finding your Ikigai will make you happy and rich. 
   Learn how to achieve flow, a state of focused productivity. 
   Cope with life's challenges like a Japanese philosopher. 
   Become strong and resilient because you'll never lose sight of your purpose. 
   Use your newly-found potential to transform your life. 
    
   Finding your Ikigai can be challenging and often painful, especially when you realize how many years you've wasted by not living out your genuine purpose. It's never too late to start, though, and it's totally worth the effort!"

  The Age of the Horse - An Equine...

  A “superb” account of the enduring connection between humans and horses—“Full of the sort of details that get edited out of more traditional histories” (The Economist).   Fifty-six million years ago, the earliest equid walked the earth—and beginning with the first-known horse-keepers of the Copper Age, the horse has played an integral part in human history. It has sustained us as a source of food, an industrial and agricultural machine, a comrade in arms, a symbol of wealth, power, and the wild.   Combining fascinating anthropological detail and incisive personal anecdote, equestrian expert Susanna Forrest draws from an immense range of archival documents as well as literature and art to illustrate how our evolution has coincided with that of horses. In paintings and poems (such as Byron’s famous “Mazeppa”), in theater and classical music (including works by Liszt and Tchaikovsky), representations of the horse have changed over centuries, portraying the crucial impact that we’ve had on each other.   Forrest combines this history with her own experience in the field, and travels the world to offer a comprehensive look at the horse in our lives today: from Mongolia where she observes the endangered takhi, to a show-horse performance at the Palace of Versailles; from a polo club in Beijing to Arlington, Virginia, where veterans with PTSD are rehabilitated through interaction with horses.   “For the horse-addicted, a book can get no better than this . . . original, cerebral and from the heart.” —The Times (London)
