Ikigai image
  • Oleksandr Romanov's profile image
Ikigai (生き甲斐, lit. 'a reason for being') is a Japanese concept of an individual's definition of the meaning of their life.Héctor García and Francesc Miralles included a Venn diagram of Ikigai in their book: "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life". This diagram includes four elements: what a person likes, what a person is good at, what the world needs, and what can be rewarded. When these four elements overlap, that person has found their ikigai.
