Dan Buettner: How to live to be 100+
Ikigai (生き甲斐 – pronounced “ee-ki-guy”) is the Japanese equivalent of the French, raison d’être. In English, these translate respectively as: ’something important one lives for’, and ‘a reason for being’.
Although the meanings are similar, cultural attitudes towards the concept they embody, differ.
Few possess a raison d’être, but those who go through life with an enduring passion for something, can be consumed by it to the detriment of social relationships and a “normal” lifestyle. Thus, there are seen to be both desirable and undesirable aspects to having a raison d’être.
Everyone, according to the Japanese, has a hidden ikigai. Finding it requires a deep and often lengthy search of self. Such a search is regarded as being very important, since it is believed that discovery of one’s ikigai brings satisfaction and meaning to life.

These guys have been fantastic. If you’re looking for an affordable, professional, laid-back and hospitable atmosphere for your recording needs definitely check them out. I am extremely satisfied with the work they are doing while we record my CD.
If you don’t wanna be an average tourist when you visit Las Vegas make a trip to the Double Down Saloon… across the street from UNLV. Try the “ass juice” enjoy the atmosphere…breath in the smoke and thank Jebus places like this still exist.
