Ikigai- Book review


"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."

Ikigai is a beautiful book by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles. This book explains how Ikigai differs for different people. It also explains why people in Japan live longer life than other countries. It delves into the meaning of Ikigai, and it shows how different it is from other cultures. Likewise, it also explains how Japanese live longer life than the average American.

Feel happy and content.

Find a stable state of mind.

Find a sense of purpose.

Feel Motivated and driven.

Become more proactive.

Eliminate insecurities about any decision. She also talked to the top successful people in Japan about Ikigai. She explained their views on how it changed their lives and how it helped them during times of difficulty. Furthermore, she has also explained that the Ikigai is not only related to a career or work, it could also be anything that a person is passionate about. I felt like something was missing. I understand that it's very common in Japanese, but I think we should have more information about it. Ikigai is a book that helps you slow down and reflect on the meaning of life. It's a slow-paced study that's ideal for those who want to know more about life. If you are looking for a great revelation, this book is not for you. It’s not for you. If you are looking for a book that will make you feel good, this one is not for you. The authors travel to Okinawa to visit a village of longevity and what it means to live a simple life. There are quotes and interviews about how to lead a simple life. So you think that you already do all of these things? This is a bit technical at times, but if you manage to keep going along, you will be able to come across some gems. You might think that you know these things, but the authors of this book have turned them into life lessons. If you're looking for a light dose of inspiration at the beginning of the year, Ikigai can be a delightful pick. This book talks about living life by truly living it. It's about living for longevity, and also being fulfilled every moment of it. I am not big on books on personal development. The few I have read were repetitive and optimistic. This book, however, had a lot of things that I could relate to and this book gave me a meaning to my life.

The Influence of Mahatma Gandhi in my life

            Ever since my birth, I’ve been listening to and reading Mahatma Gandhi, the ‘Father of the Nation’ but noting his importance in my life is something new for me. Starting from the incident of being thrown out of the Train in Durban, South Africa, which later led to the Passive Resistance Struggle. This was the first scene where I came to know about him and it caught my eyes ever since then. Being an outsider, he understood the problems faced by his fellow countrymen and used all of his wits to benefit the needy, which of course, was in the most peaceful way. A man with so much patience and tolerance deserves the greatest appreciation. An inspirational story of his influence that I recall was his eternal love and care for the environment. A teacher from California, USA chained herself to preserve a 400 years old Oak tree that was about to be removed by the developers, but upon the resistance from the lady, hundreds of people stormed and successfu...

Sex Education

  Introduction A social agenda is a policy that tries to change a society or government's way of thinking through education. Different ones include feminism, environmentalism, and socialism. The main goal of the sex education agenda is to make people more aware of their sexual behaviors, in hopes of lowering rates of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. In the US (and many other countries), school districts are increasingly trying to teach kids about sex both before they have sex and after they do; this includes teaching them about consent, pornography, healthy relationships, and more. Sex education classes can also be used as a tool for social change with things like LGBTQ schools or rape crisis centers. We will also look at the benefits and problems of effective sex education. Every day, millions of children are exposed to pornography. One out of four teenage girls has been sexually assaulted before the age of 18. And one in six men is a pedophile. It's...
