Bushidō Meets Ikigai: Living with Purpose, Honour and Simplicity in a Modern World

By RippledMind – where ancient wisdom meets modern longevity

In a world cluttered with noise, distractions, and one-click convenience, two quiet forces from Japan offer us a compass:
Bushidō, the code of the samurai.
Ikigai, the joy of purposeful living.

At first glance, they might seem worlds apart—one forged in the fires of warrior tradition, the other blossoming in the everyday simplicity of a village life. But together? They create a blueprint for a life of meaning, especially for those of us choosing minimalism, frugal living, and graceful ageing.

A rippled mind is one that is sensitive to experiences, fluid in thought, and capable of profound depth. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous benefits of cultivating and embracing a rippled mind, showing how it can enhance creativity, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and overall mental well-being.

solitude

Solitude refers to the state of being alone, often by choice, without the presence of others. It is different from loneliness, which is typically associated with negative feelings of isolation or abandonment. Solitude can be a positive, peaceful and enriching experience, offering time for introspection, relaxation, creativity, and personal growth.

Why do we need Solitude?

People seek solitude for various reasons, such as:

  • Self-reflection: To think deeply about one’s life, decisions, or emotions.
  • Recharging: For introverts or those needing a break from social interaction, solitude can be restorative.
  • Creativity: Artists, writers, and thinkers often find inspiration and focus in solitude.
  • Mindfulness: Being alone can help individuals practise meditation or mindfulness without distractions.

Can Too Much Protein Accelerate Ageing?

Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer have identified what appears to be the universal explanation for obesity – the Protein Leverage Hypothesis. The Protein Leverage Hypothesis demonstrates how our appetite for protein will drive excess energy intake and consequently obesity when the proportion of protein in our diet is low.

However, counterintuitively, they also caution against swinging to extreme protein intakes and have concluded from their laboratory research in mice that high protein diets may not be optimal for longevity. Passionate debate aplenty surrounds this topic. However, particularly since the publication of Eat Like the Animals, the professors have been eager to join the public discussion.

Marty Kendall will chat with David and Stephen (along with Dr Ted Naiman) to explore this topic further. This article details some of Marty’s thoughts as he has been diving into the implications and application of this ground-breaking research, particularly around how and why protein might influence your lifespan.
