The Japanese concept of ikigai - which gives meaning to your life and induces you to get up in the morning; your passion, your reason for being - has become the great motto of the third millennium. How can this philosophy help us to live and interact in societies dominated by the internet, where uncertainty is the norm and the ability to adapt is increasingly crucial? Thomas Leoncini, a young disciple of the great sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, and Ken Mogi, one of Japan's great neuroscientists, share an exciting dialogue about love and society in these times of globalization, pandemic and an increasingly diverse concept of love digitized. To safeguard our humanity, the authors propose the philosophy of ikigai, an oriental path that will help us distinguish between inner search and selfishness, between beauty and an increasingly uniform world, between love and self-absorption.
