The Art of Ikigai for a Long, Healthy, and Happy Life
The Art of Ikigai for a Long, Healthy, and Happy Life


Let the time-tested Japanese concept of ikigai be your guide to find (and feel) deep joy, meaning, and purpose in your everyday life. Experiencing ikigai is an extraordinary sensation — the feeling that life is worth savoring, where you have found satisfaction, growth, and freedom in your life. It’s the same feeling you get from the genuine warmth of a loved one’s embrace, from joyful laughter shared with an old friend, and from overcoming a struggle and discovering your potential. Ikigai is the emotional response to experiences that make every day feel truly worthwhile.
Ikigai is a transformational philosophy that is uniquely practical and actionable, making it possible to unlock profound joy, deep meaning, and a crystal-clear sense of direction in life. In this course from renowned Japanologist and ikigai researcher Nicholas Kemp, you’ll uncover your ikigai sources to infuse greater passion and purpose into your day-to-day life. As you journey into the four main areas — love, play, work, and service — you’ll gain a clear understanding of what matters to you and what you can do to make your life deeply meaningful. Through an evidence-based framework and guided self-reflection, you’ll learn how to maximize your ikigai sources to create more fulfillment, freedom, and joy within yourself and your relationships.
