Ep 1: How to Find Your Ikigai in Life with The Woke Salaryman Goh Wei Choon
In this episode, we talk to Goh Wei Choon, co-founder of The Woke Salaryman, about the Japanese concept of Ikigai and how it can help us find purpose and fulfilment in life.
We discuss the four elements of Ikigai – what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for – and how they intersect to create a sense of purpose and meaning in our lives. Wei Choon also shares practical tips on how to discover your own Ikigai, and how to align your career and personal goals with it.
We also discussed the Ikigai-9 psychometric test, which was developed and validated by Japanese researchers. The test comprises nine questions that help determine whether we are making progress towards discovering our personal Ikigai.
Whether you are feeling stuck in your career, searching for greater meaning in life, or simply curious about the concept of Ikigai, this episode offers practical advice and inspiring insights from a leading voice in personal development. Tune in and discover how to unlock your own Ikigai and live a more fulfilling life.
