The Happy(ish) Podcast by Chris Croft and Sally Croft.

Chris and Sally explore Ikigai (生き甲斐), a Japanese concept that refers to having a sense of purpose and joy in life, or one's reason for being. It encompasses the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for, leading to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. The term combines "iki" (生き), meaning life or living, and "gai" (甲斐), meaning value, worth, or effect.
