Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington on Well-Being, High Performance, Habit Development

This conversation is with Arianna Huffington.  Arianna is the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, the founder of The Huffington Post, and the author of 15 books, including, most recently, Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. Arianna has been named to Time Magazine's list of the world’s 100 most influential people and the Forbes Most Powerful Women list. In May 2005, she launched The Huffington Post, in 2012 won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. In August 2016, she launched Thrive Global, a corporate and consumer well-being and productivity platform with the mission of changing the way we work and live by ending the collective delusion that burnout is the price we must pay for success. With that in mind, a big focus of this conversation is on recovery. We discuss what it’s going to take to get people to care about recovery and the specific moment that made her realize why it can't be overlooked. In many of the Finding Mastery conversations, guests have shared how hard it is for them to “turn it off” and in this conversation, Arianna shares some tactics she’s developed to improve in this area, including creating an “artificial” end to your day.  We get into the keys to her continued success, how she copes with anxiety and depression, and what can be done to fix the current political climate.
