The Danish term describing the concept of coziness — hygge — embodies a feeling of warmth, and it was the “it” phrase for the end of 2016. At the start of this year, hygge faced fierce competition from lagom, yet another Scandinavian buzzword. Now there’s a new lifestyle concept from Japan: ikigai.
At it’s core, ikigai is the exact opposite of hygge. While hygge promotes a slower-paced life emphasizing self-care and taking time out for yourself, ikigai is more motivating — it focuses on finding your purpose in life.
