On episode 7 of the Ikigai Podcast, I interview author and astrologist, Andres Zuzunaga, Andres is the original creator of the Venn diagram of purpose. In 2014, his Venn diagram was merged with the Japanese concept of ikigai by Marc Winn, who simply replaced the word at the center of the Venn diagram, "purpose" with "ikigai'.A few years later the Venn diagram went viral, and now millions of people believe the Venn diagram represents the Japanese concept of ikigai.In our discussion, Andres explains how his Venn diagram was inspired by astrology, and he shares his thoughts about how it has been misinterpreted and misunderstood as a Japanese concept. Hey it is Nick Kemp here from IkigaiTribe.com, just before we get into this episode I wanted to let you know I am running a Ikigai Workshop Webinar this month. The workshop is 2-hours long and covers the work of pioneering ikigai researcher Mieko Kamiya.
