Most of us want to live with purpose, but it’s not always clear what that looks like. In Japan, there’s a word for this quiet sense of meaning: ikigai—your reason for being. Whether you’re rethinking your career or simply looking for more fulfillment in daily life, ikigai offers a grounded, human approach to purpose.
In this course, you’ll explore what ikigai really means, where it comes from, and how it differs from Western ideas of passion and success. You’ll learn about the four key elements: what you love, what you’re good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs—and how they come together to help you find clarity and direction.
Hear stories of individuals who’ve found their ikigai in unexpected ways, and reflect on your own experiences to uncover what gives your life meaning. More than just a framework, ikigai is a mindset—one that can help you make intentional choices, appreciate the small things, and stay connected to what matters most.
Join us, and take the first step toward discovering what makes life worth waking up for!
