My parents gave me a book called Ikigai on the Japanese concept of the value of life.
Basically if you want to live a long and happy life you need to eat healthily, find a job you enjoy and then never retire. So far all I've managed to do is not retire.

What's the point in living long if you have to live like the Japanese. Sod that. I like free will.

You might enjoy it, have you never heard the expression 'happy as a wanking jap?"
