Is your understanding of ikigai wrong? Today’s guest has had a 40-year love affair with Japan, and was five years old when he first visited the magnificent country. As the Venn diagram version of ikigai gained popularity encouraging everyone to find the magical spot to figure out their professional purpose, our guest knew that the authentic Japanese context of ikigai was a very different one. To clarify and honour what it truly means, Nick Kemp from the Ikigai Tribe joins me today to enlighten us on this widely misunderstood life philosophy.

Key Takeaways:

What is ikigai really?
How did the misconception of the Venn diagram come about?
How do some Japanese feel about ikigai being misrepresented?
How can you practice ikigai in your life?
