On episode 13 of the Ikigai Podcast, Ken Mogi returns to discuss the Japanese concept of kodawari.

What is Kodawari?

In Ken's own words, "Kodawari is a personal standard, to which the individual adheres to in a steadfast manner. It is often, though not always, used in reference to a level of quality or professionalism to which the individual holds. It is an attitude, often maintained throughout one’s life, constituting a central element of ikiagi."
