Lesson: Ikigai: Your Raison d’être
It seems like we are our own worst enemies. A while ago, we discussed the Danish idea of Hygge. Remember that? If you don’t ask me about it, maybe we can make it your next topic. Anyway, westerners are continually looking for something to fix our lives. We are always looking for a quick fix, which will correct all the wrongs in our lives if we only follow it. So, what do you think? If Hygge is not the answer to all of our questions, is ikigai any better? Have you found your ikigai yet?

I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
