What is ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese term that roughly translates to “reason for being.”

Ikigai ( pronounced “ick-ka-guy” ) is, above all else, a lifestyle that strives to balance the spiritual with the practical.

This balance is found at the intersection where your passions and talents converge with the things that the world needs and is willing to pay for.
