Have you ever hiked with all five senses? Join us on a journey from the bustling metropolis of Tokyo to the serene Okutama forest to meet Dr. Kagawa, the pioneering scientist who first validated the health benefits of nature immersion. Together, we engage in Shinrin Yoku, commonly known as forest bathing, a sensory-rich experience that invites us to use all five senses as we explore the wooded landscape. This episode reveals that forest bathing is far more than just a nature hike it's a practice of mindfulness that fully immerses us in the present moment through sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Learn how this deeply rooted Japanese tradition offers both physical and psychological benefits, opening your mind and tuning your senses to the therapeutic powers of nature. Join us on this eye-opening expedition and discover how you, too, can improve your well-being through the simple yet transformative act of forest bathing.

In the emotionally charged episode host Mike honors a deeply personal commitment to his late father, who passed away from cancer, to seek out the true meaning of happiness. Following this heartfelt promise, we venture to Bhutan, a remarkable country where happiness is not merely an emotion, but a national policy ingrained in its culture. From the lively capital of Thimphu to the peaceful farmlands of Punakha, we explore how Bhutan has seamlessly woven well-being into all aspects of life—from its education system that teaches happiness as a subject to its communities that prioritize collective well-being. This journey serves as both a tribute to Mike's father and an investigation into how Bhutan's unique approach to happiness could offer transformative insights for our own lives. Join us on this poignant and enlightening trip to the Land of the Thunder Dragon as we delve into what happiness truly means, fulfilling a promise and enriching our understanding of life's greatest pursuit.
