Define Your WHY: Chapter 6 WHY Find ikigai?

This chapter will share ikigai as the Japanese concept for the meaning of life. The four elements of ikigai are
(1) what you love,
(2) what you’re good at,
(3) what the world needs, and
(4) what you are valued for.

There are activities in this chapter that walk you through a process to help you determine what ikigai means for your WHY and why you can bring a positive outlook to your future.
