Attention: Nerd Snipe.

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.

this made me laugh so hard... brilliant observation :-D

Here's a pseudo-symmetrical Venn diagram for four sets, as an alternative representation :-) [1]

Actually I don't think you can paint that on a sphere without overlap... you'll need to paint it on a torus ;-)

Hah, you got me!

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.
