THE POWER OF IKIGAI

LEARN HOW TO FIND YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE

ABOUT THIS BOOK

What is the purpose of my life? Is it enough to simply live as long as possible or should I strive for something else? Why do some people know what they want and have a strong sense of purpose in life, while others feel confused all the time?

The answer to all these questions could lie in the concept of ikigai. Ikigai is a Japanese noun combining the words iki, meaning 'life’, and gai , meaning 'benefit’ or 'value’. When these concepts are combined, they mean that which provides value, meaning, or purpose to life.

The idea of ikigai is to find a purpose in life with both personal and social elements. It’s made up of four key focus areas: what we love to do, what we’re good at, what the world needs, and what others can pay us for.
