Each of us had different Ikigai, but one thing we have in common is that we are all searching for meaning of life. Ikigai (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning “alive” or “life,” and gai, meaning “benefit” or “worth.” When combined, these terms mean that which gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose. The concept of ikigai is said to have evolved from the basic health and wellness principles of traditional Japanese medicine. Ikigai also resonates with Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy’s emphasis on pursuing activities that produce enjoyment and a sense of mastery, specifically as a way to alleviate depressive disorder. The presentation gives further insight on the topic.
