Elena Iacono designs and facilitates well-being and mental health programs to help people thrive in the workplace. Looking back to our initial podcast conversation in 2021 on Audiobook Reviews in Five Minutes, we revisit timely themes, including managing stress, toxic positivity, languishing, finding new ways to thrive, and finding flow. 

Articles we refer to in this episode:
Toxic Culture Is Driving the Great Resignation (MIT Sloan Management Review)
There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing (New York Times)
