IKIGAI

I understand the essence of IKIGAI which I have not noticed before.

Japanese casually use the word of IKIGAI.
When asking "Are you doing hard work?", Some people answer with a smile "This is my IKIGAI." This book draws on the essence of IKIGAI based on the episodes of such people (for example, professional sushi craftsmen, artists, sumo wrestlers).
I noticed the simplicity and depth of the concept of IKIGAI by reading this book.
It was a good book.
