What is ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that translates to "a reason for being" or "a reason to wake up in the morning." It is the intersection of one's passions, values, skills, and purpose in life. Finding and pursuing one's ikigai is believed to bring fulfilment, joy, and a sense of meaning to one's life. In essence, it is the idea that each person has a unique contribution to make in the world and that true happiness comes from aligning oneself with that purpose. Ikigai has gained popularity in recent years as people search for a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
