From his working-class roots in New Jersey to the "tune in, turn on, drop out" cliffs of Big Sur and the pinnacles of the human potential movement; from launching his company Age Wave and coming to terms with his own aging process, Ken Dychtwald's Radical Curiosity makes sense of his first 70 years of life, offering invaluable life lessons through the lens of a man constantly seeking truth and self-discovery- giving readers a glimpse into a visionary's extraordinary world, and a guide for claiming a powerful vision of one's own.

Although Dr. Ken Dychtwald is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts on aging and longevity, Radical Curiosity offers an entirely different and far more personal perspective. Triggered by the deaths of his parents and motivated by his cutting-edge research into the importance of leaving a legacy, Dychtwald dives deep to examine the arc and legacies of his own life through fantastic stories, mind-stretching adventures and his unique encounters with many of the world's great leaders and influencers, to show readers his keys to a meaningful, magical and purposeful life.

Ultimately, Radical Curiosity is a call to action that demands that we add more curiosity, purpose, interdependence, and discovery to our lives, regardless of age.

The key considerations for staying healthy, happy, and enjoying the second half of life can be related to various age-old Japanese philosophical concepts of well-being. For example, Ikigai, a popular concept talked about and used widely today, is not new. It has existed in Japanese culture, along with the other concepts, as far back as the Heian period, 794-1185.

Okinawa, Japan, a renowned "blue zone,” region whose inhabitants live to a happy, healthy, vibrant old age regularly follow and practice these beliefs in their daily lives. Renée visited the area in the 1980s while living in Japan and observed and learned many of these simple well-being exercises and spiritual beliefs from the people there, enough for her to create a well-being roadmap on how to use them to enhance health, happiness, and longevity. She noticed that not just in Okinawa, but throughout Japan, these philosophical concepts for well-being were actively embraced by the older population. When Renée returned home, she incorporated her roadmap, based on these well-being concepts, into her counseling practice to guide her clients through the stresses related to aging and retirement.

In this episode, you will discover:

• the five most prominent Japanese philosophical practices for helping to enrich health, happiness and success in the second half of life.
• simple steps to create an ongoing practice to include each of these powerful, ancient Japanese concepts in your daily activities.
