Arianna Huffington
Founder and CEO at Thrive Global · New York, New York, United States
I’m the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, a behavior change technology company with the mission of improving health and helping us move from merely surviving to thriving. I also founded The Huffington Post and have written 15 books, including Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. I’m originally from Greece (and still have the accent to prove it!). When I was 17, I moved to England and studied economics at Cambridge University, where I frankly spent most of my time debating at the Cambridge Union. I live in New York but also spend time in Los Angeles, and love being a Yiayia (Greek for grandmother) to my almost three-year-old grandson Alexander and his newborn sister Annabel. My journey to focusing on health began with a fall. In April 2007, I collapsed from exhaustion and burnout and hit my head on my desk on the way down, breaking my cheekbone. In the wake of my fall, I found myself going from doctor to doctor to find out what was wrong. Doctors’ waiting rooms were good places for me to ask myself a lot of questions about the kind of life I was living. After all the tests, it turned out nothing was wrong. Except for the fact that everything was wrong. I was suffering from an acute case of burnout. I had bought into the myth that burnout was the price I had to pay for success. I became more and more passionate about the five daily habits that drive so much of our health: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management and connection. That led me to write Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. The books struck a chord, but I wanted to go beyond speaking and writing to helping people move from awareness to action. So in 2016 I founded Thrive Global, which helps people transform their health by combining Microsteps — small, science-backed daily steps — with technology, storytelling and community. And last year, with the OpenAI Startup Fund, we launched Thrive AI Health to build an AI health coach to democratize access to health coaching.

A Sunday
AI keeps pulling off things that used to be impossible. In my latest On My Mind newsletter, I write why we shouldn’t lose sight of the eight “wonders of life,” as coined by @UCBerkeleyOfficial professor Dacher Keltner, that create everyday moments of awe: moral beauty, movement, nature, music, visual design, spirituality and religion, big ideas, and life and death. Plus, dispatches from @Dreamforce, the @LucasMuseum, and my own home, where I recently hosted an event that captured the possibility of this moment when it comes to brain health. You can read my newsletter at the link in bio.

Wise words, whether we’re elite athletes competing at the highest levels or building healthy habits in our daily lives. Congrats to @CaitlinClark22 — @WNBA Comeback Player of the Year! — on a great season, and thank you for your deep commitment to helping people live healthier lives by putting a spotlight on healthy behaviors, including the role of exercise as one of the most powerful preventative medicines, and reminding us all to start how we can.
