Health Benefits of Ikigai: A Review of Literature
[NOT A JOURNAL ARTICLE, a book chapter. THE ABSTRACT READ IN FULL AT SOURCE at the University of Derby repository record, which prints it entire. THE CHAPTER ITSELF WAS NOT READ: the Derby open-access PDF returned an empty body] Kotera, Y., Kaluzeviciute, G., Garip, G., McEwan, K., & Chamberlain, K. (2021). 'Health Benefits of Ikigai: A Review of Literature.' Chapter in Y. Kotera & D. Fido (Eds.), Ikigai: Towards a psychological understanding of a life worth living. Concurrent Disorders Society Publishing. Kotera is first author, confirmed in the repository's own author line. NOTE THAT SEVERAL CITING SOURCES MISDESCRIBE THIS AS A JOURNAL ARTICLE AND IT IS NOT. THE FIELD'S OWN CRITICISM OF ITS EVIDENCE BASE, from the abstract: the chapter says ikigai has recently drawn international scholarly attention, first for its link with longevity and now in career guidance, wellbeing training and clinical practice, and that much of the existing literature rests on anecdotal episodes rather than a clear scientific or clinical focus. It sets out to define ikigai, to explore its health benefits for physical and mental health, and to discuss how to enhance it and what future research is needed. It describes ikigai as having first been identified in difficult life experiences among leprosy patients, and as an everyday experiential phenomenon tied to a reason for being. Drawing on meta-analyses and longitudinal studies, it reports a protective benefit and a positive correlation with better physical health and an inverse relationship with all-cause mortality; psychologically, ikigai may help self-understanding, goal attainability and problem-solving. Interventions such as life crafting are deemed helpful, though cross-cultural and longitudinal research is still needed to support the construct. TWO USES: the abstract's note that contemporary approaches include career guidance is the diagram's footprint inside the research literature, written by researchers; and the origin among leprosy patients is the only form in which the Kamiya origin story may be carried, because it comes from a source we read rather than from Kamiya. Nothing here describes the chapter's own review method, its included studies or its detailed findings, because the chapter was not read.
