I am a physician, researcher, author, teacher, thought leader, well-being expert, and founder of the emerging field of positive medicine, working to nurture a healthier, happier world.

A psychiatrist with master’s degrees in applied positive psychology and clinical research, I have a unique perspective in understanding how to implement the empirical science of well-being—above and beyond preventing and treating burnout and mental illness—for individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples, families, and teams in communities, health care, and corporate settings.
