The novelist and playwright Dorothy L Sayers wrote a terrific book called "Why Work?" in which she touches on many of the points in this video. She wrote, " if we really...arranged our work and our standard of values accordingly, we should no longer think of work as something that we hastened to get through in order to enjoy our leisure; we should look on our leisure as the period of changed rhythm that refreshed us for the delightful purpose of getting on with our work." She wrote this in 1942, so this is by no means a new problem. Thanks for explaining this so well Chris!
Incredible insights on aligning passion with profession. For entrepreneurs, remember that while Ikigai is a powerful concept, the market fit is crucial-validate your business idea with potential customers early to ensure there's a demand for your passion-driven solution. It's about blending what you love with what others value. Good talk.
Dear creator of the "Ikigai Breakdown" video, I stumbled upon your insightful video titled "Find Your Reason - Ikigai Breakdown," and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. My 19-year-old daughter is grappling with the challenge of choosing her path after graduation. We had a heartfelt conversation about this last night, and your video resonated deeply with our discussions. Your explanation of the Japanese technique, Ikigai, struck a chord. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of finding a career that aligns with passion, proficiency, financial sustainability, and societal need. I believe your video will be a guiding light for my daughter in making this crucial life decision. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for sharing such valuable insights. Your video feels like a timely and divine message, providing clarity when it's needed the most. Thank you for creating content that has the power to positively impact lives. Warm regards, Ozzy Martinez
You're a great teacher Chris. I remember you teaching on this a while back but happy to revisit it again. I think I've achieved this as a lash artist. Would love it if you shared the books you're reading. You always have great recommendations
Your explanation makes more sense. The way you broke it down with your examples solved the state of analysis paralysis I experienced before watching this video. You are good at what you do. May God keep on blessing you.
I appreciate you sharing this :) it's just what I've been looking for, a practical approach to finding out what I'm good at and can earn a living from.

Chris, thank you for re-sharing this content. The first time you shared this it triggered a massive change in my perspective. I’ve since have expanded the model to align for someone’s second life chapter. I would to share it with you at some point. I think you are an example of how that model plays out. I was a Pro-member a few years ago and heart felt fan of yours.
This was exceptional! I’m going to have to watch this a few times over to really delve into these questions and examine myself. I’m excited to enhance the future by first understanding myself, and what I bring to the world stage.
🌟✨ This is a profound journey into self-discovery and purpose! 🚀💖 Question for the community: What's your "ikigai"? What do you love, what are you good at, what pays you, and what does the world need from you? Let's share our passions and insights - maybe we can help each other find that perfect balance! 💬🌐
I wonder if at some point Chris is going to release all the art works like paintings or so he did since childhood and we get to see the dream of a child that never died but was kept from the world and was only showed at right time when all the things that made him keep it as a secret are no longer relevant. Just a food for thought😊 I love what you do and the impact you’ve made in the world Chris. Bemnet Sileshi An architect From Ethiopia, Addis Ababa

Well, if people are already paying you money to do whatever it is you're doing, isn't it already a sign that the world needs it? if you're earning that means you're doing something useful. And if you're earning good amount usually it also means you're good at your job. The only real question is: do you enjoy your work or is it burning you out?
by your logic, every job is what the world needs. it's meant to point at a higher purpose. like does the world need more gas burning cars? probably not. but we do need green transportation (electric cars, public transportation and better urban planning).
Go figure out what you love to do when you are so disconnected from yourself...and on the weekends you looking around thinking what am I doing with my life...being like zombie
If you do further research on Ikigai you will know that the Venn Diagram is a wrong interpretation of Ikigai. Ikigai has nothing to do with making money or what the world needs or what you're good at. It has been debunked by Japanese people already. Diagram can be useful but don't call it Ikigai because IT'S NOT!

I so love how you introduced the 4th bubble "what the world need". Never heard anyone explain Ikigai so well and concisely in less than 10min 🙌

Ikigai has both paid well and what the world needs. If you conceptualize it properly, that is not a strong concern.

Thank, Chris. I appreciate the topic and presentation I see value in it.
Thank you for this video. Made me cry and think. I feel a little bit more hopeful about the future (no pun intended). Sending you love and gratitude.
Am I the only one, or did anyone else take notes from Chris's videos?❤
Me too ✋️
This video is so enlightning.. really. Needed it so much! THANK YOU!
its great to see how evolution alows us to do what we love and earn the money from that as well:)

Life means plz
Hi Chris, what if by the time you are done, there are two separate things at your Ikegai?
you can choose one or blend together.
So I'm awesome at daydreaming and doing research..but I cannot draw or write scripts..I can program in about 5 different programming languages.
What if you don't have a reason for being?
Everybody does. You just haven't found that yet 🤙
@@cyb3rint3l74No everybody doesn't.
Well, we ALL have something to offer, so maybe start there
this video from which lecture?

Go figure out what you love to do when you are so disconnected from yourself...and on the weekends you looking around thinking what am I doing with my life...being like zombie
🎉there's nothing 😢I love to do
Again
useful but not ikigai as the Japanese define
If you do further research on Ikigai you will know that the Venn Diagram is a wrong interpretation of Ikigai. Ikigai has nothing to do with making money or what the world needs or what you're good at. It has been debunked by Japanese people already. Diagram can be useful but don't call it Ikigai because IT'S NOT!
