<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TW // Eating Habits are discussed on this episode</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Today’s guest is the co-author of one of my favorite books,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This book is my jam because it's all about purpose. Francesc Miralles and Héctor García wrote the international bestseller</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ikigai</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and Francesc joins me from Spain to explain what Ikigai actually means. It's a</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Japanese word with many translations. It literally</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">means a life worth being lived, but he shares that it</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is your purpose in life, it’s your reason to live, but also more simply, it is the motivation we have</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to get up in the morning and start doing things. We take a deep dive into talking about one’s purpose and passion and how eating habits,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">movement and community play a major factor in being able to live a truly balanced life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More About Francesc - Francesc Miralles is a writer published all around the world.
