The Ikigai Podcast

Two weeks ago, I enjoyed being interviewed with Nich Kemp from IKIGAI TRIBE

Do you know the Japanese word "IKIGAI (生きがい)"? Ikigai means somthing that make your life worth living, and it is becoming popular in English literature through Mieko Kamiya's book titled "On Ikigai (生きがいについて)."

Through the interview, I tried to give accounts on the concept of "aida (あいだ)” and "ma (間)". Both concepts are grounded in Japanese language and culture but I think it has a universal dimension that is open to the people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Intending to show that, my talk starts with the idea of intercorporeality.
