Module overview

The Japanese have a practice known as Naikan. It is a structured method of self-introspection. It literally means, “Looking inward.” However, a metaphorical interpretation of it would mean to consider oneself with the mind’s eye.

For the most part, most students leave high school without figuring out their passion and purpose. People can go for the next several decades of their life without figuring this out. Naikan is a simple, straightforward, uncomplicated way of helping people figure out who they are and where they are headed. It helps us focus on the things that truly matter in life: what makes us different; who we ought to be thankful for and grateful to; what relationships matter; the choices we make; the lifestyle we live; our connection with people and the environment; and our connection with our self.
