This conversation explores the core concept of "ikigai," defining it through the lens of "what is ikigai" and how it makes life feel worth living. We reference Japan's research pioneer, Mieko Kamiya, who breaks down ikigai into sources like relationships and hobbies, and the feeling of "kan." This discussion offers a deep dive into Japanese philosophy and the true meaning of life.
