Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life
By Héctor García and Francesc Miralles
Why does Japan have so many supercentenarians? One major reason: Japan offers a more rewarding path into old age than many other countries. This book explains the cultural reasons behind Japan’s longevity preeminence. Ikigai can be roughly translated as “life purpose.” It’s a concept that is relevant for everyone, regardless of age or nationality.
Keep Breathing: Recollections from a 103-Year-Old
By Morrie Markoff
The only book on this list written by a supercentenarian, though he was “only” 103 when this was published. Morrie Markoff’s voice shines through in this memoir which starts in a crowded New York City tenement building and follows him over the course of a century to sunny Los Angeles. As the title implies, Markoff never expected to live so long. He just “kept breathing” until he was America’s oldest man.
