Ikigai: When Work Becomes Meaningful.
Before I dive into the concept of Ikigai, the reason for being, I like to point out that Ikigai is not exclusive to the Japanese. In fact, despite the concept having originated from Japan, I believe this concept is not being practiced regularly by the majority there. …
