Recovering Hopes and Dreams (Ilchi 120 School Episode 1)

After my father died, I reflected on my life and how I wanted to live going forward. I realized that, even if I can’t avoid aging, I can live a proactive life instead of letting time go by passively. I set the goal of living to 120 years, and my book, I’ve Decided to Live 120 Years: The Ancient Secret to Longevity, Vitality, and Life Transformation, was born out of that decision. With this book, I want to inspire everyone to discover a purpose that makes them excited to live 120 years. Making this decision means that you have something you want to do or something you want to give to the world, and that you value every precious moment so you can achieve that dream.

To introduce I’ve Decided to Live 120 Years to you, my team and I made a nine-video web series called "Ilchi 120 School." In this series, I speak about key concepts from the book. You can use them to start creating a fulfilling and purposeful life by rethinking your lifespan and the entire aging process.

Below is Episode 1, in which I talk more about why I wrote this book. I hope you gain the hope and courage to find and achieve your dreams, even up to your last moment, from it.
