Ikigai

Recently, I’ve been reading a book called “Ikigai: the Japanese Secret for a Long and Happy Life.” I highly recommend this book, and it goes over topics such as the flow state, healthy habits, anti fragility, optimism, and much more. Most importantly, in this book, I discovered a unique and meaningful concept called the “ikigai.”

So what is ikigai? Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your “reason for being.” It refers to what gives a person a sense of purpose.

I’ve included a diagram I made about what each person’s ikigai means to them, and these can serve as guidelines for discovering your own passions and ikigai!
