What is Ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means 'reason for being.' It combines the Japanese words 'iki' which means life, and 'gai' which means value or worth.  In an article entitled "Ikigai Explained by a Neuroscientist"and featured on IkigaiTribe, we meet Ken Mogi. He explains that in Japanese culture, there is a belief that the world is made of many small things which are valuable in themselves. Ikigai is the pursuit of day to day purpose and happiness: When we are in the process of self-reflection and growth, the concept of a spectrum is very valuable to our journey as it allows us to recognize both the small things that bring value to our lives as well as our big picture goals. The concept of Ikigai is about becoming the most honest version of ourselves. Tomorrow's post will feature "The 10 Rules of Ikigai" by  Héctor García and Francesc Miralles.
