Out of curiosity I google image searched "ikigai torus" to see if anyone had made one, and got a few distinct things: A 3-circle shape being sold as jewelry that claimed to represent the concept, it being used as magic/mantra on new-agey sites, and one that straight claims that this diagram is a misrepresentation of the concept (but is also selling a workbook).
Now I can't help but wonder if this is one of those "those silly westerners" things, akin to gibberish or insulting Japanese/Chinese words as tattoos.
The Ikigai graph should be painted on a torus because we need to see two additional intersections. Let's try to name them:
- What you LOVE and What you can be PAID FOR: Delightful Bullshit Job
- What you are GOOD AT and What the world NEEDS: Useful Self-Sacrifice
Or do you have a better idea?
And: how should we color them to have nice, meaningful shades of colors?
Edit: Thanks for BlackFingolfin to point out that a sphere's not good enough.
