Description: “We all have an Ikigai. It's the Japanese word for 'a reason to live' or 'a reason to jump out of bed in the morning'.

We take a quick look at how the Japanese people on the rural island of Okinawa live long, happy and healthy lives, and we then introduce how to adapt this lifestyle for people who have fast-paced lives and don’t necessarily have time to “tend to a garden and drink tea every day”.Logotherapy: the Western IkigaiWe look at Victor Frankl’s Logotherapy, which is a very interesting take on living a purposeful life and taking control of your environment. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”Experimentation & FlowIn order to find what you like to do in life and what is part of your purpose, your reason for being, the keyword is “experience”.
