Ikigai and Happiness
According to psychiatrist Mieko Kamiya, the concept of Ikigai is similar to happiness, but with a difference.
Ikigai looks at the larger picture of life, allowing you to be ok with a miserable situation, as the grand vision of life, and the future is still positive.

Everyday Life and a Lifetime
The concept of Ikigai aligns with everyday life, as opposed to a lifetime. It makes us appreciate our daily life, celebrating it, and experiencing the small joys of living.
Ikigai is the reason you wake up in the morning for, that thing you live for, daily.

Purpose of Action
Ikigai is not a theoretical concept to be understood and left aside, and can only work in daily action and constant practice.
Your work should make a difference in people's lives, and not necessarily would be just working hard.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
