What the Wellness Industry Got Wrong

“Joy is the ultimate wellness solution.” That line comes from Jason Wachob, who joined me for this inspiring Big Talk with his spouse Colleen. Colleen and Jason are cofounders and co-CEOs of the highly influential wellness brand mindbodygreen. They are legends in the field, but they know the world isn’t getting it right when it comes to achieving wellness. Why? Because we aren’t including joy. We aren’t including human connection, spiritual connection, a sense of purpose, or even fun. Colleen and Jason are upending the current idea of “wellness” (and literally writing the books on it), and their insights may seriously enhance and extend your life. Colleen and Jason are cofounders and co-CEOs of mind body green, the leading independent media brand dedicated to well-being with 15 million monthly unique visitors. He is also the host of the popular mind body green podcast and the bestselling author of Wellth: How I Learned to Build a Life, Not a Resume. Colleen and Jason are the authors of the recently published The Joy of Well-Being: A Practical Guide to a Happy, Healthy, and Long Life They live in Miami with their two girls, Ellie and Grace.
