About this listen

Nick celebrates the launch of A Year of Ikigai and read the book’s introduction, separating myth from meaning and showing how purpose lives in daily moments.

Nick shares why Ikigai is felt more than defined, and how small sources of value build a life worth living.

This episode covers:

• what ikigai means in simple, daily terms
• why popular Western takes miss the point
• the problem with the four-circle Venn diagram
• the kanji roots pointing to protection and beauty
• intrinsic values like hope, growth and social ties
• personal journey from Tokyo spark to research
• sources of ikigai across roles, work, hobbies and memory
• ikigai-kan as the felt sense that life is worth living
• book launch timing across regions and preorder

You can actually pre order the book on Amazon, but we hope you find it in your local bookstore
