But the authors of the global bestseller Ikigai, about the Japanese concept that has helped millions of people discover their reason for being, are now on a mission to show how the ancient Hindu concept of purushartha, meaning the ultimate goal of life, provides a powerful framework for charting a path toward a life of purpose and fulfillment in our complex modern world. The authors have made many trips to India, where Ikigai has sold more copies than anywhere else in the world, and were inspired to write a book honoring the balanced ways of life they attribute to fostering happiness and achievement. In The Four Purusharthas, they draw on practices from India’s numerous spiritual traditions to show you how to cultivate the four components of purushartha: your dharma, or what the world needs from youyour kama, or what you love doingyour artha, or what you need to sustain your lifeyour moksha, or your truest, most actualized self If you already know what your purpose in life is, then this book provides a blueprint for living in accordance with your purushartha.
