(2) 10 Japanese Concepts For Self-Improvement and a Balanced Life by Hairej Younes (6 mins)

(3) What is Your Ikigai? by Learnlife (4 mins)

• Essence of Ikigai: Ikigai is more than just passion; it's a profound reason for being that guides and motivates individuals, central to Learnlife's philosophy.

• Cultural Misinterpretations: In Western contexts, Ikigai is often mistakenly linked to economic value, deviating from its traditional Japanese roots where it signifies personal joy and fulfillment without monetary implications.

• Personal Journey to Ikigai: Discovering one's Ikigai is a personal and evolving journey, requiring self-exploration and experimentation in supportive environments like Learnlife, which fosters understanding and growth beyond conventional educational paths.
