What is Ikigai? Often translated as "a reason for being" or "the reason you wake up in the morning," this Japanese concept has become a global phenomenon for finding purpose and fulfillment. But is it really about finding the perfect job, or is there more to the story? In this video, we explore the true meaning of Ikigai and how you can apply it to your life today.
The Western Interpretation (The Framework)] You’ve likely seen the famous Ikigai Venn diagram. We break down the four circles popular in Western coaching that help you identify your dream career:
1. What you love
2. What you are good at
3. What the world needs
4. What you can be paid for This framework, popularized by Marc Winn and researchers like Dan Buettner, suggests that where these circles overlap is your "sweet spot" for professional success and happiness.
The Authentic Japanese Meaning] However, the traditional Japanese concept of Ikigai is often quite different. It isn't always related to money or economic status. According to neuroscientist Ken Mogi, Ikigai relies on 5 pillars, including "starting small" and "being in the here and now". We discuss why, for many Japanese people, Ikigai is found in small, everyday joys—like a hobby, a relationship, or even a morning cup of coffee—rather than a grand career goal.
[Longevity & Health] We also look at the connection between Ikigai and longevity. While it is true that having a sense of purpose is linked to lower mortality rates and better health in older adults, we debunk the myth that Ikigai is the sole secret to the long lives of Okinawan centenarians.
