My guest today is Trudy Boyle, an expert in Japanese Psychology, who specialises in running courses for people with chronic illness.

Trudy formerly had cancer and used the techniques from Japanese Psychology to help her get through that period and for the last 11 years, Trudy has run programs on Living well with Cancer at Wellspring Calgary and has now published a book on thesubject. 
 
In the podcast, we discuss the practical application of Japanese Psychology  concepts, including ikigai, arugamama and kaizen.

Check out her book, Ikigai and Illness: A Guide to Living Fully with Purpose, Meaning and Joyful Moments. Although the title suggests that it's for people with illness, I think all of us would benefit from the principles and teachings of this book. 

Also check out Trudy's website for more information and some excellent resources and if you are living with an illness, check out Trudy's online course in conjunction with the ToDo institute.
