About Nicholas Kemp (in his own words)
My personal mission is to bust the myths on ikigai, Japan’s most misunderstood word and culturally appropriated concept. It’s not a term from Okinawa. It’s not the Japanese secret to longevity. It's not a Venn diagram showing you how to find your bliss or become a successful entrepreneur. And it’s not the pursuit of a single life purpose.
Drawing on insights from Japan’s leading ikigai researchers and my own personal experiences of living in Japan, my investigations shed light on a multifaceted concept that is both uniquely Japanese yet also universal, offering the audience the truth about ikigai and a path forward to enjoying a life that feels worth living.
I now train educators, psychologists, coaches, and professionals with my Ikigai Coach certification program. The program is supported by many of Japan’s leading ikigai authorities who are contributors to his certification program and appear as regular guests on my podcast. My ultimate goal is to share the wonders and wisdom of Japanese culture to a global audience.
