The 80% full thing reminds me of something very important in the battery industry. If you charge a battery to 100% and discharge it to 0%, you can do that about 300 times. Taking the same battery from 100% to 20% pushes that 300 to 3000. And then again, with just going from 80% to 20%, this is raised yet again to just over 20000. This is why in the industry, we program batteries to not fully charge or discharge- to increase lifespan. Your battery isn't actually dying faster, but the hardware breaks the circuit to preserve the longevity of the battery. Unless you work on batteries or hardware, you probably didn't know that. Consider applying this wisdom from a battery engineer into your life :)
@@aurorasheadspace to answer your first question: in my lab, and amongst my peers, we unimaginatively call it, "cycle-limiting", which conveys the meaning well enough. To answer the second: the charging and discharging of a battery is not linear. Towards the high and low ends, we start to encounter what I call, "electrochemical hysteresis", where the linearity goes away, and the discharge rate suddenly flattens, or the charging rate plateaus. Some very smart electrical engineers noticed this, and decided that if the electrical flow is behaving in this abnormal way, that will be set as the 100% or the 0% mark, which are more accurately, closer to 80% and 20% of the battery's actual loading capacity, respectively.
Diving into Ikigai is such a game-changer. Here's a tip I've woven into my life from it: I start each day by asking myself what small thing I can do that aligns with my Ikigai. Whether it’s creating content that I’m passionate about, learning a new skill, or helping someone out, it keeps me grounded and focused. This simple daily practice has not only boosted my productivity but also my overall happiness. It's about making every day count towards living a life that’s truly fulfilling. Your video's a great reminder of the power of living with purpose. Great video and Keep up the awesome work!
Great video. Yes, all of these points seem like common sense but you need to hear it on a regular basis to be willing to implement them. Several points I would add 1. Intermittent fasting- Have a light breakfast, skip lunch and have a early dinner. The older you get the less you should eat. 2. Take daily naps instead of having lunch. If you wake up at 7 AM and go bed at 11 PM that is too many hours to be functional for without a sleep break. People who don't nap usually crash at about 4PM and need heavy motivation/caffeine to work at night. 3. Daily mediation or religious prayer can give you peace and comfort to know are being protected. 4. Good people in your life if you are so lucky most especially if you have a supportive spouse that deeply loves you.
The concept of Ikigai and its impact on longevity is truly fascinating. For entrepreneurs, finding your Ikigai can be closely tied to your business success, but remember, it's also about balance. Integrating the Okinawa Diet's principles with mindful business practices can lead to not just a longer life, but a more fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.
I have this word tattooed on my back. 生き甲斐 Such a good book and way of life. I’m learning Japanese and have always loved Japanese culture. After having breast cancer last year I felt this was the perfect word to represent my life and how I want to continue to live

I have a very high-paying job in tech but it requires me to work most nights till 11pm and also I don't enjoy the nature of work. Do you think if I take another job with better hours and learning opportunities, is ok to 10% total pay cut? I'm 45
I would! It's not how much you make. It's how you manage the expenses to build financial security. Life is limited and unpredictable. I would never sacrifice my time for more money. I retired at 45, and I have more financial security at 62. I could have a lot more money if I worked more years but I have enjoyed total freedom for many years already.
@@gyunge3617 totally. I think when you make more money, also you can save more money but at what cost? Longevity is important. We live one life. Congratulations on reaching your financial goals btw. It's amazing.
On having a purpose. I'm a vector. Going somewhere. I have a core set of friends and values, objectives, and motivation to make a success for the future. As a fellow tortoise, going slowly forward gets the job done. Thanks for this channel.
I thought ikigai is something totally different. It’s finding a purpose and continuously improving. That’s definitely number one thing, not eating or saving money.
Pork is a staple part of the Okinawan diet as well. You left that part out. They also drink awamori, a high alcoholic content drink specific to Okinawa.
Lesson 13 from "Ikigai - The Japanese Secret To A Long & Happy Life" is to always say the full name of the book "Ikigai - The Japanese Secret To A Long & Happy Life" when you talk about the book "Ikigai - The Japanese Secret To A Long & Happy Life" so that people remember the title "Ikigai - The Japanese Secret To A Long & Happy Life" of the book "Ikigai - The Japanese Secret To A Long & Happy Life"
I find it interesting that this video describes only a small fraction of the book (a bit from the chapters 1, 7 and 9), but it's presented as "THE lessons from the book" - actually, not even from the book, but from the *secret* concept itself. It's misleading.
I heard Messenger of Allah say: "No man fills a container worse than his stomach. A few morsels that keep his back upright are sufficient for him. If he has to, then he should keep one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for his breathing."
They want you to have Ikigai in your job in Japan; it means that you have to work with 100% commitment to them, sacrificing your private life. There is no end for businesses to pop up that gets you into "Black company " , illegally forcing you into excessive work load making people Karoshi. Warning: Do not believe what they say but do so what you see. Once you get in, you will suffer mental depression. Good luck & peace for the world 🌎 は❤

This is so fascinating!! Does this method have a name? How do you program a battery not to end as soon? I have so many questions ...

How true! A few days ago I journalled on how we humans are vectors and the choices we make determine the direction of our lives. I love this concept!
I've read that Jiro lost his 3 Michelin stars because he no longer takes reservations from the public. Now, THAT'S exclusivity. 💙
It’s a tire company. People go to Jiro for food. 🍱
Great content 👌 👏
Thanks 🙏🏿

Amazing
Great great video !

Hi Tae, have you heard of "security backed line of credit"? If so, what is your opinion about it?
I wonder, are you the same Tae Kim who wrote 'A guide to Japanese grammer'?
Yes good topic. Just watched the Blue Zones Documentary in 2023. Happy to see your thoughts on this topic.
Cool 😊
Thank you

Love your channel. Honey, I could sleep for 10 years and I’d still look like a wrinkle bedsheet.😝
2:50 sponsorship?
Eating to 80% full is a Taoist (Daoist) concept
Good video but why do you keep saying the full name of the book every time?
Yup
How many commercials can u fit in one video? 😂
Ikigai isn't that strictly defined. 生きがいっちゅーのは人それぞれで、別にそんな厳密に守るべきルールみたいなもんじゃないんだよ。

I am reading Ikigai and Outlive at the same time and there's definitely some cross over lol .

The Chinese way to live a happy life is leave where you are trapped in
The word "Ikigai" to the untrained ear sounds like "supuka".
Talking about food? Eat with chopsticks - it's more difficult to stuff yourself...

80% full? yeah but after a heavy deadlift session ima go 110%

Usually I love your video. But this video was disappointing for a number of reasons.
