Fellow devs, are you truly passionate about developing your apps?

Let's get really deep here. Is building apps giving you a sense of lifelong fulfilment?

Ikigai scholar, Michiko Kumano, found that the concept of ikigai (a reason for being)

is eudaimonic, not hedonic (AKA Shiawase). Meaning real ikigai is a state of well-being

Created a authentic Japanese ikigai discovery app!

I am launching my app, ikigAI, this week!

Ikigai has become a popular concept in self-help spaces, but I wanted to create an experience that pays homage to the traditional Japanese understanding of ikigai and incorporates advanced AI insights.

ikigAI - Find what makes your life worth living with AI

What most Westerners know about ikigai (a reason for being) is WRONG. Ikigai transcends career aspirations and that popular 4-circle diagram. Dr Mieko Kamiya, the mother of ikigai psychology, showed that true ikigai is the felt sense that life is worth living. ikigAI is built on her research with AI trained on decades of ikigai scholarship and positive psychology, and bridges Japanese and Western ideas of purpose. Delivering the most authentic and holistic ikigai discovery experience available.
