Can we find more happiness? Here's a practical approach

September 14, 2017 Ryo Ishii
Catching up with friends in Sydney. Photo by yours truly.

Catching up with friends in Sydney. Photo by yours truly.

It's been a while since I've posted anything here.

I've moved back to Japan in Jan 2015 and it's already Sep 2017.

Time surely does fly, especially when you make a big move.

It's been amazing being back, while also feeling 'homesick' towards my second home, Sydney.

And on that note of slight nostalgia, here's a little something that I thought was lovely re: taking a scientific, data-driven, rational approach to maximising more moments that we feel truly happy.

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you're spending each moment, truly in the moment as much as you can.

 

Peace from Tokyo,

Ryo

 

大分久しぶりの投稿です。

日本に帰国したのが 2015年1月。そして今ここでマックのキーを叩く 2017年9月。

後ろ向きで眺めると、時間の流れは本当に早く感じる。

長い長いまっすぐの道をゆっくり走って、ふと振り返った時みたいに。

シドニーという第二の故郷を懐かしげに振り返る瞬間の中

「幸せ」という概念を科学的に、論理的に増やし続けるためのきっかけにもなるのではないか?

と思ったトークを紹介します。

 

皆さんも出来るだけ、毎日の瞬間の中で暮らしていることを祈って。

 

Peace,

Ryo
