Hardiness with Dr Paul Taylor Discovering Your Ikigai with the Japanese Rock-star Neuroscientist, Ken Mogi
This is a repeat episode with the rock star, neuroscientist Ken Mogi as I felt it was so good, I’m playing it again! We discuss the concept of Ikigai, which translates to 'a reason to live.' Ken explains how Ikigai encompasses more than just work, emphasising the importance of starting small, releasing oneself to achieve flow, and finding joy in little things. Ken outlines the five pillars of Ikigai, which include harmony and sustainability, and the significance of being present in the moment. He encourages listeners to reconnect with their inner child to discover their Ikigai and live a fulfilling life.
