Here is an original and provocative anthropological approach to the fundamental philosophical question of what makes life worth living. Gordon Mathews considers this perennial issue by examining nine pairs of similarly situated individuals in the United States and Japan. In the course of exploring how people from these two cultures find meaning in their daily lives, he illuminates a vast and intriguing range of ideas about work and love, religion, creativity, and self-realization. Mathews explores these topics by means of the Japanese term ikigai, "that which most makes one's life seem worth living." American English has no equivalent, but ikigai applies not only to Japanese lives but to American lives as well. Ikigai is what, day after day and year after year, each of us most essentially lives for. Through the life stories of those he interviews, Mathews analyzes the ways Japanese and American lives have been affected by social roles and cultural vocabularies. As we approach the end of the century, the author's investigation into how the inhabitants of the world's two largest economic superpowers make sense of their lives brings a vital new understanding to our skeptical age.

评分讀得心中充滿怒火。。。什麼玩意兒？！！！
评分Prof Gordon在尋找一個答案，全文的邏輯線也很清晰，或許是因為鋪的點太大瞭，以至於每個點的討論都比較淺，最好的答案很簡單，略雞湯，也沒有離開社會-結構-文化的桎梏。
评分教授太可愛瞭 全世界唯一講ikigai的課堂
评分（gordon之於重慶大廈就相當於孫之於哲學通論吧
