Over the years, I always had the intent to build better products for the community. This has taken me on an extraordinary journey and here I am today learning more about product design and neuroscience.
Why does one feel there is a need for purpose? A person always wants to derive from its life experiences and build something beautiful on that. With purpose, you get positive emotions which is important to keep away the stress and support a healthy brain.
How our brain works on having a life purpose?
In research conducted on 900 community-dwelling people with no dementia, it was observed a person with a high purpose in life score was approximately 2.4 times more likely to remain free of Alzheimer than was a person with a low purpose in life score.
It is likely people who experience greater purpose in life are less stressed and experience more positive emotions. For example, lack of purpose in life is associated with high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, markers of inflammation, lower good cholesterol.
How do you find your life’s purpose?
Ikigai, its a Japanese concept.
It can also be described as an intersection between four different elements: what you’re passionate about, where your skills lie, how you can earn a living, and what the world needs. Many Japanese believe that everyone has an ikigai, or destiny, that they were born to fulfill.
