🧠 For Episode #109, we spoke with Francesc Miralles, who is the author of IKIGAI: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Healthy Life

IKIGAI is a Japanese philosophy that roughly translates to “your reason for being.”

It focuses on the intersection where your passions and talents converge with the things that the world needs and is willing to pay for. Your IKIGAI is your life purpose or your bliss. It's what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.
