Podcast Interview: Michael Samuelson
Michael Samuelson has spent almost four decades in the wellness/wellbeing arena in various roles, including entrepreneur, university professor, community organizer, and US health policy advisor. Michael also was a colleague of mine as the CEO of RI Blue Cross’ subsidiary, the Health & Wellness Institute. Michael’s writings have been read by millions throughout the world, and endorsed by medical organizations, leaders, and media personalities, including George HW Bush, Betty Ford, C Everett Koop, and Larry King.
Michael discusses why workplace wellness has failed and why a comprehensive workplace wellbeing approach is what is needed. He also discusses the importance of a whole person approach that takes into account the mental/emotional components of wellbeing.
