Applying Japanese Philosophy for Personal Growth to Make Your Later Life More Healthier, Happier and Successful with Dorian Mintzer and Renée Rosenberg
The key considerations for staying healthy, happy, and enjoying the second half of life can be related to various age-old Japanese philosophical concepts of well-being. For example, Ikigai, a popular concept talked about and used widely today, is not new. It has existed in Japanese culture, along with the other concepts, as far back as the Heian period, 794-1185.
Okinawa, Japan, a renowned "blue zone,” region whose inhabitants live to a happy, healthy, vibrant old age regularly follow and practice these beliefs in their daily lives. Renée visited the area in the 1980s while living in Japan and observed and learned many of these simple well-being exercises and spiritual beliefs from the people there, enough for her to create a well-being roadmap on how to use them to enhance health, happiness, and longevity. She noticed that not just in Okinawa, but throughout Japan, these philosophical concepts for well-being were actively embraced by the older population. When Renée returned home, she incorporated her roadmap, based on these well-being concepts, into her counseling practice to guide her clients through the stresses related to aging and retirement.
In this episode, you will discover:
- the five most prominent Japanese philosophical practices for helping to enrich health, happiness and success in the second half of life.
- simple steps to create an ongoing practice to include each of these powerful, ancient Japanese concepts in your daily activities.
