Interviews

Centering wellbeing requires new ways of interacting and working together. Below are interviews featuring leaders, organizers and practitioners putting collective wellbeing and wellbeing economy frameworks in action.

This effort is to demystify the future of wellbeing economics. Explore our curated collection of interviews that examine the intersection of wellbeing with diverse fields such as urban planning, housing, education, public health, the care economy, environmental science, technology and other areas.

Our hope is that through these interviews you will be introduced to how growing movements are working to reframe our societies, cultures, and economies around wellbeing, by shifting practice within mainstream institutions and broader culture.

We expect these new models of wellbeing and the insights gleaned from conversations will serve a dual purpose of sparking action for those well-grounded in wellbeing work while serving as an introduction to those who are less familiar.
