A STAGGERING nine in ten young Brits believe their life lacks purpose, according to a new study.
A UK wide survey reveals the extent to which the younger generation feel disillusioned, with the MAJORITY (89 percent) of 16-29 year olds, claiming their life lacks purpose or meaning.
This is compared to an average of 80 percent across all ages, but just half (55 percent) of the over 60s, signalling true contentment may simply come with age.
In fact, as many as 30 percent of today’s youngsters believe they are stuck in a rut, with 84 percent claiming they are failing to “live their best life”.
Overall, 36 percent of Brits (of all ages) would give their lives a complete re-do if they had the chance.
And according to the study of 1,500 Brits, conducted by Yakult UK, the biggest barrier to finding purpose and achieving greater happiness is a lack of finances (45 percent).
Worryingly, as many as a third of the Brits polled (34 percent) claimed anxiety is stopping them from achieving the things they would like to achieve.
Illness and poor health (22 percent) were also major stumbling blocks for many Brits, in terms of achieving their dreams, according to the poll.
It comes as no surprise then that two thirds of us admit to feeling jealous of colleagues and friends who seems to have their entire world in order.
Daisy Whitfield-Davis, Yakult UK PR Manager, said: "This research proves how many Brits are searching for their true objectives in life.
"As a Japanese Company, we want to introduce the nation to Ikigai, a Japanese self-development concept, which is a framework for bringing satisfaction, happiness and meaning to your life.
“Ikigai is built around weighing up aspects of your life across your passion, your mission in life, your profession and your vocation, and it appears it’s something we need in our lives, with 60 percent of us admitting we have no balance in our existence.”
When it comes to the bigger questions, such as the meaning of life, over half of Brits (51 percent) believe we were put on the earth to be as happy as we can be, while 37 percent say we should make people around us happy.
Almost a third (31 percent) believe our purpose should be to do as much good as possible.
According to the study, the average Brit spends over half an hour (34 minutes) a day dreaming of a better, more fulfilled life.
But 43 percent admit they don’t have enough 'me' time and 38 percent wish they could spend more quality time with their families .
83 percent feel they would achieve greater purpose if they could contribute more to their local community.
When it comes to what gives our lives purpose, the study found that 49 percent of Brits say it is their loved ones, a quarter say it’s being healthy, and 24 percent want to create a loving home.
Ikigai Expert and author of Japonisme, Erin Niimi Longhurst said, “Japanese culture and traditions are uniquely special as they are intriguing and incredibly enlightening.
"Ikigai is that element in our lives that provides a delicious richness, meaning, or raison d'être and those who discover their Ikigai have everything they need for a happy journey through life.
"I’m delighted to be working with Yakult to encourage the nation to discover what they love, what they’re good at, what the world needs from them and their vocation, in order to strike the right balance towards living a long, healthy and happy life.”
Edinburgh is the most content city where 32 percent of people’s lives have meaning - three times as many as the least content city, Bristol (10 percent).

School Life for a 13 year old British Boy
My School is a mixed 11-18 school. There about 1,150 students in my school, including 200 in the sixth form. It is called a Technology College and specialises in Computers and Maths. My school has over 1200 computers (including over 400 tablet PC's)
I am in Year 8 and at the end of Key Stage 3 (a year earlier than normal). I am presently having to decide what GCSEs I would like to start working towards. I sit my GCSE exams next year instead of the year after when most other people of my age will be doing them.
Some subjects are compulsory like Maths, English, Science and a foreign language. I am not sure what other GSCEs I will be taking. I will have to decide soon.
I leave home at 6:45 and walk 20 minutes to catch a bus to school. The bus is a special one just for kids going to my school. The journey on the bus takes an hour because it has to keep stopping to pick up other students along the way.
When I arrive at school, I collect my Tablet PC from the Flexi (Flexiable Learning Centre). Then I go to my Tutor Room for Registration at 8:30.
What is registration?
The attendance of every child attending school each morning and afternoon is recorded in a special book.
The teacher reads out each child’s name in turn. On hearing his/her name, the child replies 'yes Mrs. (teacher's name)' and the teacher notes down in the book whether the child is in school or not.
We listen to announcements to see what special things are happening at school today or this week.
At about 8:50 we leave Tutor Room to go to our First Period. Every day I have a different Lesson the first period. Normally it is Humanities but I also have Maths, Drama and Music, and French on the other days. Each period lasts an hour.
All my lessons are in different rooms and places around the school. Each Room either has a three digit number or a name. The numbers are very hard to remember!. I have different teachers for each lesson. I have a locker where I can store some of my stuff but otherwise I have to carry it all around with my in my bags.
Swipe Cards
Every Student carries a swipe card. We swipe into every lesson to let the school know that we have attended that certain lesson and to know where we are in case of emergencies.
On the Swipe Card there are two stripes, a black and a brown. The brown is to swipe into lessons and the black is to get into the toilets and buildings.
We can put money on our Swipe cards instead of carrying cash around. When we want to pay for snacks at the Tuck Shop or canteen we just hand over our cards and they deduct the money.
Humanities (History, Geography, and Religion)
11:00 - 11:20 Break
During break, I have a snack and play and chat with my friends. Usually we play 'IT' a chasing game. Snow ball fight when it snows is dead fun.
1:30 - 2:10 Lunch
I bring a packed lunch to school but occasionally I have school dinners in the School Canteen.
Sometimes I stay after school for clubs.
Canteen
The Canteen is open at Lunch Time and Break Time. Most hot food is served only at lunch time. Chips are only available on Mondays and Fridays.
Tablet PC
We don't use our Tablet PCs in all lessons because some rooms do not have enough power sockets. We use the Tablets to do our work on and to search the Internet. Our Tablet PCs are connected to a Network so we can send our work straight to our teachers. and they can send them back with their comments.

The United Kingdom (UK) is a welcoming and friendly place to live, and it is a fun place to study English!
Improve your English, make new friends, try new food, and spend your weekends visiting our famous cities and attractions.
It is easy to find good food in the UK and we have some of the world's top restaurants.
Lots of cheap restaurants, and food markets, are available for students on a budget. It is possible to try food from all over the world, even in small towns. Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Mexican food are all very popular.
Traditional British food includes fish and chips, full English breakfast, Sunday roast dinners, Yorkshire pudding, cornish pasties, cream tea, pies, haggis, local cheese, and of course plenty of tea and cake.
Supermarkets are good places to find cheap options for lunch and snack, to reduce the cost of living. See the British Council's tips on eating well, and cheaply, in the UK.
Does it always rain the UK? Not usually! The UK has lots of different weather, sometimes it rains, sometimes it is sunny and beautiful.
The UK uses its own currency, called the pound (£). Cash machines (ATMs) are easy to find and are usually free to use.
You can pay by debit or credit card almost everywhere in the UK. Cash is usually required at very small shops, outdoor markets, some pubs and cafes, local buses and for taxis.
The UK is home to some of the world's top museums and art galleries, music venues and theatres.
Outside the cities there is beautiful countryside and many castles, historic houses, parks and gardens.
Language centres usually organise student social programmes which will include visits to the UK's popular destinations. Typical trips often include Stonehenge, Oxford, Cambridge, London, York and Edinburgh.
The UK is a union of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 62 million people live in the UK. Most people live in England, which is the largest of the four countries. There are over 100 different cities and towns with English language centres in the UK. Each destination offers something unique, so every student can find the perfect place to study.
The UK is small country with lots to see, and it is easy to use public transport to explore. Trains are the fastest way to travel, especially for long journeys. Book your tickets in advance for the cheapest prices.
Coaches are often the cheapest way to explore the UK – you can travel between major cities for as little as £5.
If you want someone to meet you at the airport, you can book an airport taxi transfer through your language school.
If you are travelling from the airport by public transport, there will be coach services and sometimes a train service. In London there are express train service – these are the fastest option but they are more expensive than slower travel options.
The UK has a very diverse population - people from all over the world live here. There are many different international communities, and international students will feel welcome.
The UK is a tolerant society, and it is illegal to discriminate against people because of their race, religion, gender, sexuality or disability.
There are different regional accents in the UK. A person from Edinburgh will sound a little different to a person from Bristol. Students do not need to worry about this. Teachers and host families will always speak very clearly for students, and local accents are useful helpful and friendly.
English is a global language, and it is an important skill to be able to understand different English accents from around the UK, and the world!
