Into the Blue

Implementing Ikigai Philosophy to Create a Meaningful Workplace

About this book

Are you ready to rethink the way you and your teams perceive work to find purpose, meaning, and ultimate fulfillment while optimizing your organizational effectiveness?

More than 90, 000 hours of our lives are devoted to work, so it's essential to explore whether we as leaders and our employees are living our best work lives. Entrepreneur and CEO Sri Chellappa was inspired to explore this topic by the Okinawan people of Japan, whose unique approach to life, work, and relationships is called ikigai. Ikigai is the convergence of four elements—passion, skill, mission, and vocation.

Into the Blue offers a blueprint for using ikigai to infuse your professional life—and the work lives of those you lead—with purpose and fulfillment, aligning daily efforts with something greater than self. Whether you are in a seemingly mundane role or at the helm of an organization, the desire to find purpose and meaning in our work is universal; it fuels personal development and nurtures all our passions.

The ikigai principles in this book will allow you to

  • create a thriving workplace environment where individuals find purpose and organizations flourish;
  • follow a road map for both personal and professional fulfillment;
  • reshape your career;
  • discover the sweet spot where passion, skill, mission, and vocation converge.

Into the Blue will inspire you and the people you lead to use ikigai to unlock the true potential of lives filled with meaning and purpose.
