It\u0026amp;;s the reason we get up in the morning. It\u0026amp;;s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there\u0026amp;;s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they\u0026amp;;ve found a real purpose in life\u0026amp;;the happiness of always being busy.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds\u0026amp;;one of the world\u0026amp;;s Blue Zones.
