Recently I was doing some research on ikigai and kaizen and that research led me to collect these lists of ideas and concepts originating from Japan. I found they helped me reflect on life in a new and better way. I also found they could help anyone not already familiar with these Japanese ideas, so I give you:
- 5 Japanese Principles That Encourage Purposeful Living
- 8 Japanese Concepts to Create a Life of Meaning and improving life
- 15 Ways To Improve Your Life, Japanese Style
- 15 Japanese Concepts to Enrich Your Life
Finally, I thought the ideas behind the design of Naoto Fukasawa furniture was worthwhile, too. (Images above are his designs.)
