Here’s some wisdom for anyone who’s ever replayed a bad day in their mind.
Spoiler: the little things add up. ✏️ : @drchatterjee
18 years ago today, I collapsed from sleep deprivation and burnout and broke my cheekbone. That day changed my life. It put me on a course to change how I work and how I live. We now need to accelerate moving from knowing what to do to actually doing it. Stress and burnout affect every aspect of our health and make us worse, not better, at our jobs. We know that our relationship to technology is damaging and unsustainable. And we know about the many tools and strategies that can boost our well-being. The science is clear on all of it. The mission now is to heed the science and keep changing the way we work and live.
Withholding feedback isn’t kindness — it’s a missed opportunity.
We’re hard-wired to connect.
The best ideas aren’t always the loudest.
Progress > Perfection. That’s the mindset shift we need — on World Health Day and every day. True well-being isn’t about getting everything “perfect.” It’s about choosing, again and again, to move in a healthier direction. It could be going to bed 30 minutes earlier. Drinking more water. Or saying no to something that no longer serves you. With Microsteps we can build sustainable change. This year, the World Health Organization is highlighting one of the most foundational aspects of well-being: maternal and newborn health. Let’s honor World Health Day by remembering that when it comes to our health we’re all works in progress. What’s one step you’re taking in the right direction today? #WorldHealthDay
In the latest season of @thewhitelotus, what’s supposed to be the pinnacle of the good life — exotic vacations, luxury hotels, high-end wellness — gradually curdles into something darker: a sense that something’s missing. A mother, drifting through massages and digital detoxes, admits: “I don’t think I’m meant to live an uncomfortable life… I just don’t have it in me.” Her daughter, meanwhile, begins to ask life’s deeper questions — the kind that can’t be answered with wellness, pampering and the trappings of conventional success. It’s one of those moments when pop culture reveals something real: how easily we lose the plot of our own stories. The outer journey — success, achievement, comfort — becomes disconnected from the inner journey. As the author Christopher Booker reminds us, in every great story, the outer journey mirrors an inner one — a path toward self-realization. But so much of modern life, and the stories we tell about it, have drifted off course. Our drive to explore isn’t limited to distant planets. The more essential journey is inward — into the vast, unmapped territory within each of us. And it begins with the courage to ask the questions that truly matter.
One of life’s greatest gifts is working with people you love. Here celebrating the engagement of @Thrive’s COO @jackhfriend and @rooted.restaurants founder @lilyrivkin with Thrive’s Chief Brand Officer @danielshea!
When I was recently on @Baratunde Thurston’s podcast, he read me a poem he’d written: “When the answer to every question can be generated in a flash, then it’s time for us to question just what we want to ask.” And that includes questions like “What do we really want?” and “Who are we really?” So much of the conversation around AI is about making AI more human – but we also need to focus on how AI can make humans more human. In this interview with @FastCompany, Thurston expands on this. As he says, as we think about how to ask the right questions of the machines, we can also use this moment to ask the right questions of ourselves. (Link in bio)
In a world filled with uncertainty, we all need moments to pause and reset. This was one of the themes of my conversation with Walmart’s chief talent officer Lo Stomski on how to cultivate resilience. At the beautiful new Sam Walton Hall in Bentonville, Ark., we explored how resilience isn’t just about bouncing back — it’s about bouncing forward. And we can only be resilient when we have the tools to navigate whatever challenge is in front of us. Thrive Reset is one of those tools, and one of my favorite moments was when Lo shared her own personal Reset, a 60-second glimpse of the people, places and moments that matter to her and a song that enlivened the whole room! Following our conversation, Thrive Global’s chief training officer @joey.hubbard delivered a live training on how to build a resilience toolkit, with resilience-building Microsteps across the five foundational behaviors of food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection. As Joey explained, we’ll be continuing to supply Walmart associates with Resets, Microsteps, and other nanolearnings on the Walmart Academy Reset & Resilience website — because resilience isn’t an endpoint, it’s an ongoing process. Associates also received copies of @Thrive’s free cookbook to make healthy and delicious budget-friendly recipes. The day was made even more special with an opening by chief people officer @dcmorrishr who introduced Alice Walton. Alice has done groundbreaking work — literally and figuratively — to transform healthcare. Her love and passion for the community, for the heartland, for using nature and art and whole human health to improve people’s lives, has been truly inspiring. As she says, art and nature are major contributors to well-being. And @Walmart associates can just walk from the Home Office campus to the @crystalbridgesmuseum of American Art to reset and recharge. And a special thank you to @oliviaswalton, who has been a champion for women and maternal health, for joining us. As well as a huge thank you to Group Director, Learning and Development, Eric Rowlee, who has been so instrumental in bringing these initiatives to life.

Spreading the word is an important part of the collective effort to raise awareness and funds for food allergy research. And the Food Allergy Fund, the leading nonprofit dedicated to funding food allergy research, is close to my heart because my young grandson is dealing with food allergies. So, in honor of Food Allergy Awareness Month, the first-ever @foodallergyfund Research Week will take place on April 28-30 in New York. It will include the Food Allergy Fund Annual Summit at the Paley Center on April 30 — a day dedicated to exploring the latest advances in food allergy research. You can also join the Signature Research Dinner at Cure in NYC on April 29 for an exclusive evening with leading researchers. Here’s the best part: 100% of ticket sales go directly toward funding new food allergy research. For more details, click my link in bio.

Four years ago, @lindseyvonn shared on my podcast why recharging is essential for peak performance. And last weekend, she made history by winning a World Cup medal at 40, her first since coming out of retirement just months ago. As she put it: “Age is just a number, if you feel good and you’re mentally still driven and work hard you can achieve anything you set your mind to.” Congratulations, Lindsey! You’re an inspiration and true role model proving the power of recharging and renewal.
