How Does the Hedgehog Concept Compare to Ikigai?

Ikigai is a Japanese concept, which roughly translates as: “The happiness of always being busy”. It is about what you find meaningful and what makes you happy.

Marc Winn put the term in a Venn-diagram from a TEDTalk on the blue zones. Blue zones are areas in the world where many people live a 100 years or more: "If you know your Ikigai, you live longer & happier".

Ikigai 4 circles:

  • Passion,
  • Vocation,
  • Profession
  • Mission.
  • Hedgehog Concept 3 circles: (ref. ep.# 56)

    • What you are deeply passionate about,
    • What you can be the best in the world at,
    • What best drives your economic/resource engine.
    • Both concepts can be adapted from businesses to individuals. Both concepts are ways to approach life in general.
