Bernadette and Mark go deep into what makes life worth living. Both Bernadette and Mark love the “side hustle” and they talk about how that passion let them down paths of greatness. Bern shared with Mark why was such a successful venture and what was at the heart of the company.
In Mark’s smart, timely and sharply funny new book, The Wellness Ethic: How to Thrive in an Unpredictable World (Where Stupid Things Can Happen), author and life coach Mark Reinisch challenges the outdated “work ethic” model that values success over health, happiness and soul.
His antidote: wellness ethic lifestyle design — a bold, practical approach to building a life that works for you, on your terms.
In a world that feels more chaotic, disconnected and demanding by the day, author and life coach Mark Reinisch delivers a refreshingly practical and accessible framework for a well designed life in his new book, The Wellness Ethic: How to Thrive in an Unpredictable World (Where Stupid Things Can Happen).
Backed by science and inspiring, real world experiences (not just credentials) Reinisch lays out seven essential components - mind, body, spirit, relationships, personal pursuits, professional pursuits, and lifestyle maintenance - that form the backbone of what he calls “wellness ethic lifestyle design,” a simple yet powerful concept that empowers readers to build their lives, on their own terms, around what actually brings them joy and fulfillment.
“Lifestyle design is the opposite of running on autopilot, and it is essential to your overall well-being,” Reinisch said. “With Lifestyle design, the objective is to get to the heart of what you really want in life and then make it your reality.
“It is the rare self-help book that you won’t be able to put down, unless the sheer bulk of it tires, your arms, and you drop it, Reinisch quipped.
