Finding your Ikigai We're All Idiots

    • Filosofi

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being". You may have seen the 4 overlapping circles, "What you love", "What you're good at", "What you can get paid for", "What the world needs. 

The word refers to having a direction or purpose in life, that which makes one's life worthwhile, and towards which an individual takes spontaneous and willing actions giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life. 

Life is not only about having a purpose however, but to continue living your purpose throughout your life. In Japan, the concept of retirement very much differs to that of the West, and if you want to enjoy a long life, we would really recommend exploring further how they live in Okinawa, Japan and some of the other Blue Zones of the World.

In this episode, we discuss all aspects of our Ikigai and flow. If you haven't read the book, I would really recommend you check it out.
