When I was the chief medical officer of Johnson & Johnson, we operated with the belief that well-being is mission critical. Driving and promoting well-being is about helping each person bring out their best, front and center. Everyone can be their best self regardless of how they look, where they are, or what their profession is. I've had the honor of working with Naz Beheshti on several well-being projects, and after reading her book, Pause. Breathe. Choose., I believe it brings tremendous value to leaders in the industry who recognize that good health is good business. Naz has eloquently articulated a roadmap to living well and being well, as well as demonstrating the 'how' for leaders to apply well-being principles and create a strong culture of health within their organizations. I highly recommend you read and implement this book!"
