Jody Wellman, a positive psychology practitioner, embarks on a mission to prevent the pangs of regret by encouraging people to live a life worth living, causing them to confront the absurdity of life's finite nature and reverse engineer a life of delight.
"Let's go all the way to the end and then say, hey, how do I want to be remembered? What's my legacy? Or how, again, would I feel proud that I lived a life that makes me feel like I was alive, that I showed up as a good parent if that's applicable? And so then that does allow us to work backward and then kind of reverse engineer a life that makes us feel delighted."
Jody Wellman is a recurring corporate executive with and master's in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. She dedicates her life to helping others find happiness and fulfillment through her Creative 4000 Mondays program.
