My Little Ikigai Journal

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "a reason for being," (the French call it "raison d'etre.") If you make three lists: your values, the things you like to do, and the things you are good at, there is a point at which the three overlap. This is your ikigai.Everyone, according to Japanese culture, has an ikigai, and staying true to it in everything we do is the secret to a long, happy life. People of retirement age don't put their feet up in Japan: they continue to pursue their ikigai, which leads to fulfillment and contentment.This guided journal offers simple questions to help you determine your ikigai, helping you to achieve a purposeful, worthwhile, happy life.
