This week we interview award-winning journalist and friend of The Better Show, Celeste Headlee, about her upcoming new book "Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, & Underliving". We were fortunate to have a conversation with Celeste back in 2018 on the heels of her award-winning TED talk "10 ways to have a better conversation". In this episode we discuss her new book and her mission to institute a global shift in our thinking so we can stop sabotaging our well-being, put work aside, and start living instead of just "doing".

Most of the time when we consider ways to help improve our health or well-being, we think about the things we have to take action on. In this episode we explore the benefits of simply taking a break. Resisting the pressure to always be "doing" something is often very difficult. We share ways to subtly give yourself a short break every now and then and explore the benefits of doing so.
