Wellbeing Central

<p>It is becoming challenging to maintain wellbeing while dealing with the modern day complexities.  As more and more of us find it difficult to create and maintain harmony in all spheres of life, it is becoming even more important to pay attention to our wellbeing.  But first, we need to understand what wellbeing is, and how we can navigate this complex concept.<br /><br />I asked these question to answer my PhD thesis and found it both personally and professional transformational. That is why I am  sharing new insights, through this bilingual podcast, on wellbeing and human development, and hoping to help create a wellbeing movement where more and more of us live a more meaningful and purposeful life.<br /><br />Through each episode, I challenge  deeply held beliefs about wellbeing and human growth and expansion. Audience get a chance to self-reflect and have dialogues with others as they find their own answers after listening to the episodes.</p>
