On this episode of the Ikigai Podcast, I interview Scott Haas, a writer and clinical psychologist and author of four books, including WHY BE HAPPY - The Japanese Way of Acceptance.

The winner of a James Beard award for his on-air broadcasts on public radio, Scott holds a Ph.D. from the University of Detroit. He did his doctoral internship at Massachusetts Mental Health Center, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. 

Scott works in Japan three to four times each year when there is no pandemic. He is currently based in Cambridge, MA.
