Abstract
Despite the ICT revolution with the inventions of gadgets and AI technologies, employees as well as the common people are being plagued with the strenuous work, stress and complexity life styles. Does emotional intelligence fails? Do people fail to maintain the work-life balance? As lot of words enter the lexicon, ikigai- the Japanese origin, envisages the value and joy to life. The book enthralls happy mind and healthy body for a well-being. The term Ikigai was traced back when Japanese psychiatrist and academic Mieko Kamiya popularized the concept of ikigai in her 1966 book On the Meaning of Life. Hope ikigai, will change the mindset of the global citizens just as the concept of Toyota production systems, which revolutionized the global industries.
