Questioner: I just spent 3 hours in a wonderful workshop on Ikigai, and now you're telling me purpose in life may not be necessary. Who the f#%k are you?

GC: I'm no-one. Done. Next question. [Audience laughs]. No need to laugh everyone, really, I can’t prove I even exist. Who knows - you might have even created me just for the purpose of this discussion!

Questioner: How can one live without purpose in life? There is no meaning to existence. I just go through life and become depressed. Why do you say that life needs no purpose?
