Delighted to discover this podcast, as it covers so many subjects I am interested in eg Morita therapy, Naikan, Kaizen. Informative & inspiring discussions. Throw in an episode on the spiritual aspects of Aikido and I’ll be even happier!
Very good research, good speakers, great content 🙋♀️
A friend recommended I listen to this podcast, I’ve got to podcast 3 and felt it was important to give a positive review. I’m new to the world of Ikigai, and it’s fascinating to explore what Ikigai means to the Japanese. Episode 2 was enlightening. I’ve got a few more to listen to, and I’m looking forward to learning more.
