Author of IKIGAI-KAN: Feel a Life Worth Living, Founder of Ikigai Tribe and Host of The Ikigai Podcast.
Ikigai has become one of Japan's most misunderstood words and culturally appropriated concepts. It’s not a word from Okinawa. It’s not the Japanese secret to longevity. It's not a Venn diagram showing you how to find your bliss or become a successful entrepreneur. And it’s not the pursuit of a single life purpose.
If the truth matters to you and you are fed up with Western interpretations and romanticised notions of ikigai and Japanese culture in general, then I can offer you evidence-base advice and a Japanese perspective on the concept.
A concept related to eudaimonia and existential positive psychology, ikigai offers you a way to live with motivation and resilience in times of hardship, opening yourself up to the path of self-actualisation.
