IKIGAI: Reason for Living

This video series is a part of the first summer program of The Montparnasse Initiative: School of Thinking being held in Paris, France at the Center for Research and Interdisciplinary. In this lecture I will explore the concept of Ikigai as a useful tool to develop a reason for living.

In the beginning you mentioned you weren't sure why complacency was used to describe that piece of Ikigai where you do what you love, the world needs it, and you get paid, but you're not good at it.
I'm assuming if they mean unawareness or uninformed self-satisfaction, or self-satisfaction paired with unawareness of actual danger or deficiency, then I assume if you're missing the component that you're doing something you're good at then it's possible because you're not good, there's unforseen risks to lacking skill in terms of job security, health and safety. You love it, but by no means are you so good that you're most valued or your pay and the world's need might be lacking, which may affect your love for it and your overall reason for living.
