At least once a year I like to focus on people's well being given the demands on our lives both in and out of work tend to increase continually unless we get into the habit of knowing what we can manage and deal with it accordingly.

Ali will talk about the information provided in her book, The Project Done by The Foresight Mental Wellbeing Project (2008), which contains more than 80 papers and science reviews that helped her come up with 5 actions to improve personal wellbeing:
