Ikigai is a Japanese concept that describes “the reason to live.” It refers to what brings a person fulfillment and joy in life by combining four elements: what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for.
According to a study by the National Geographic Society, the Japanese island of Okinawa, where the Ikigai concept is deeply rooted, is one of the regions with the highest life expectancy. People who have found their ikigai have been shown to experience greater satisfaction and well-being, which can also have a positive effect on work performance.
