@JaredFossey @kazarnowicz @jennytheolin I will forever see this as a problem.

@JaredFossey @kazarnowicz @jennytheolin I do believe we talk too little about how our ”personnummer” has had us being a surveillance state for longer than anyone cares admit. On my number you can even see I’m born abroad. Yes, they changed this rule but dit not change old numbers.

@JaredFossey @kazarnowicz @jennytheolin It’s only two years since they made it unlawful for store staff to ask for you personnummer(!) We’ve been very naive.

1. I love the idea of Ikigai, but more so the original concept than the recent, western pop-version.

I bet many are familiar with the venn diagram showing the intersection of

* what you love
* what you are good at
* what the world needs and
* what you can be paid for

2. That diagram was originally just a concept for life purpose and not really related to Ikigai (at all)

The western, capitalist remake of course moved the focus away from human experience to growth of capital, as if these concepts are necessarily intertwined.

3. In reality Ikigai is about

* a life worth living, the happiness and benefit of being alive, and
* something to live for, the joy and goal of living

4. Clarifying this notion:

* Ikigai isn’t necessarily about your work
* Ikigai is not a single, all-or-nothing extraordinary thing
* You can have more than one
* You can change it

5. From the book ’Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life’ by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, these 10 rules may give you closer to understanding what Ikigai really is about:

6.

1Stay active; don’t retire.
2Take it slow.
3Don’t fill your stomach.
4Surround yourself with good friends.
5Get in shape for your next birthday.
6Smile.
7Reconnect with nature.
8Give thanks.
9Live in the moment.
10Follow your ikigai

7. Read more about the original story of the circle diagram and the misconception of Ikigai on Sloww.

8. Kyle on Sloww also has ideas for evolving the Ikigai diagram (and why and how it needs to be redesigned)
