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.Hey it is Nick Kemp here from IkigaiTribe.com, just before we get into this episode I wanted to let you know I am running a Ikigai Workshop Webinar this month. The workshop is 2-hours long and covers the work of pioneering ikigai researcher Mieko Kamiya.
