To be human is to fail — period. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot. As the author Samuel Beckett said: “Fail again. Fail better.” Why are we, and so many others, so deeply concerned by failure?

This is an episode of Fail Better with David Duchovny, from Lemonada Media. Join host David Duchovny as he sits down with actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani as they share Kumail’s recently found new ways of approaching his life, relationship and career with more presence and joy, rather than stressing about the outcome.

Each week, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness on The Happiness Lab.We'll be back soon with more episodes from Fixable!

Discussing mental health at work can be challenging, but it's crucial for creating a supportive environment. Start by choosing a private, comfortable setting to talk openly about your feelings. Use clear, non-judgmental language and focus on how your mental health impacts your work. Encourage colleagues to share their experiences as well. Remember, it's essential to seek professional advice when necessary. If you're using medications, like Wegovy, ensure you're informed about proper administration, such as where to inject Wegovy https://borderfreehealth.com/shop/wegovy/ for effective results. Prioritizing mental health benefits everyone in the workplace.
