When you think of health, what do you picture? A hospital? A doctor? This week on How to Change the World we're out to change your perception on what it really means to be "healthy". 

We sit down with Dr. Sandro Galea, dean and professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, to talk about what it means to be healthy. Dr. Galea, one of Time Magazine's top scientific minds, brings together the social, economic and environmental conditions that lead to health in our conversation and in his new book Well: What we need to talk about when we talk about health.

Join us as we talk about what it means to thrive, how to find wonder in your life and why success is more than just money.

Interim Dean of Arizona State University's Law School and author of the recently published Outsiders, Professor Zachary Kramer, thinks we should understand human rights violations differently.

What’s noteworthy about Blake is that he is committed to giving his time, talent, and energy to better those around him.  Although it may seem counter-intuitive, he believes that the greatest amount of personal success comes from selflessly serving others.  In fact, Blake sent Catherine a copy of Give and Take by Adam Grant when they first met, which is why she invited him to join her to talk about Grant's argument that in professional interactions, it turns out that most people operate as either givers, takers, or matchers. Whereas takers strive to get as much as possible from others and matchers aim to trade evenly, givers are the rare breed of people who contribute to others without expecting anything from them in return. Learn why givers are the least AND most sucessful among us, and how to implement giving into your own work life and culture.
