StrengthsFind your Ikigai (η”Ÿγη”²ζ–): Reinventing your Life


ACHIEVING IKIGAI. In Japan, they call such a pursuit as 'ikigai' meaning 'a reason for being'. The word 'ikigai' is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile. Invented by Don Clifton, the father of Strengths psychology, StrengthsFinder helps you discover what you naturally do best, learn how to develop your greatest talents, and teach how to work better as a team.
