The Power of Asking the Right Questions – Jim Bouman - TEDxAwaji 2022
Monday, 6 February, 2023
On Sunday December 18, 2022 I was invited to speak at TEDxAwaji 2022. The theme was “Ikigai,” a Japanese word meaning “purpose in life” or “raison d’être.”My talk “The Power of Asking the Right Questions” covers my 8.5-year journey from early 2014 to late 2022 (age 22 to 30), from my first job to going solo and uncovering my calling. I tell stories to connect my life experiences and give you many useful life lessons.I won’t spoil it for you. I think it’s worth your time. I condensed 10 years of ups and downs, various personal transformations and lessons I still benefit from today into a 17.5 minute rollercoaster ride.But as a teaser I talk about:How I dealt with the toughest situation in my lifeWhy I moved to the other side of the worldHow I improved my relationshipsThe various ways I learnt to manage, control and change my emotions… at willHow I went from culturally oblivious to being well-likedAll the ways in which I failed to find my “ikigai” (aka “purpose in life)…and the way with which I found itHow I went from being a productive “robot”… to a procrastinator… to a productive “human”The ways I’ve found to continuously increase my happiness, fulfilment and effectiveness… week after weekThe 1 question that has changed my perspective on life, love and successIf any of this resonates, it’s worth a listen. Even if it doesn’t resonate, I think it’s worth a listen.Full transcript (English and Japanese): https://jimbouman.com/tedxawaji-the-power-of-asking-the-right-questions/My daily newsletter: https://letters.jimbouman.com/Website: https://jimbouman.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimbouman/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jjpbouman
