How to design any workspace--at home, the office, or anywhere in between--to enhance both physical and emotional wellbeing. "Full of tips, stories, and cutting-edge science, Well at Work helps us thrive wherever we work." (Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global) Staying healthy at work has never been more top of mind than it is today. But staying healthy isn't the same as staying well. Wellness at work isn't just about how we feel physically or the germs and toxins that make us sick; it's also about the many aspects of the environment that affect our stress levels, mood, focus, and productivity. Whether you work in a traditional office or a corner of your bedroom, a healthy workplace need not be a luxury. Well at Work reveals how to design these spaces for wellbeing across the seven domains of integrative health: stress and resilience, movement, sleep, relationships, environment, nutrition, and spirituality, and even the air we breathe. You'll learn: How the environment you work in all day can affect your sleep at night Optimal lighting and noise levels for reducing stress and improving focus How to adjust temperature and humidity to stay alert and protect against infection Why open-plan offices can keep you more active The myriad benefits of access to nature (and how to bring nature indoors) Office layouts that foster social interactions but not distraction Foods to enhance cognitive performance And more On this eye-opening journey of discovery, you'll meet Dr. Sternberg's colleagues in science and medicine, design and architecture, and building sciences who are striving to make workplaces more conducive to wellbeing. And you'll glimpse into the future of the workplace, where artificial intelligence and the metaverse will help us create environments that respond to our individual needs. Above all, you'll come away with a menu of simple steps to help you be--and stay--well at work.
