The Four-Way Path

In our complex modern world, it can be easy to doubt were living the life were meant to be living. 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 provides a powerful framework for charting a path toward a life of purpose and fulfillment .

Having spent a great deal of time in India, the authors were inspired to write a book honoring the culture they came to appreciate. In The Four-Way Path, they draw on practices from Indias numerous spiritual traditions to show how to foster happiness and achievement by cultivating the four components of purushartha:

your kama, or what you love doing

your dharma, or what the world needs from you
your artha, or what you need to sustain your life
your moksha, or your truest, most actualized self
