With David Shaywitz
A workspace for exploring agency as foundational driver of health and flourishing.
KindWellHealth centers health around agency: the belief that you can change your life for the better.
This workspace brings together ideas, essays, and research that examine how agency -- supported by biology, behavior, and technology -- can unlock motivation, resilience, and long-term well-being.
I write from the perspective of a physician-scientist and longtime health innovation executive who’s come to believe that the most underappreciated health asset is a belief in one’s own potential.
KindWellHealth seeks to:
Clarify and refine the idea that agency is a foundational force for health and human flourishing
Deepen our ability to cultivate agency in ourselves and others
Explore how we can better support agency across individuals, systems, and society
