Building Mental Wealth With Michael Gilbert

What is mental wealth – and how can I get more of it?

Michael Gilbert is the founder of Lumin-us, a nonprofit start-up with the goal of helping young adults find mental wealth through social therapy and asking questions like “What’s your bright spot?”. Michael and I discuss how we can use social therapy to improve mental wealth in ourselves and the people around us.

 

In this episode, I also talk to Michael about:

- Guidance for parents looking to support their kids’ mental health. (7:00)
- Direction for people who are silently struggling. (13:07)
- What employers and employees can do to improve mental wealth in the workplace. (20:57)

 

Challenge: At [36:06], Michael shares a simple challenge you can do right now to improve your mental wealth.
