Sawdust on the factory floor is the metaphor Melissa uses to describe the modern workplace. Just as un-cleared sawdust was a safety hazard in 1800s factories, our accelerated work regimes imperil workers today. As Transformation Leader at HR-focussed consultancy Mercer, Melissa has developed a suite of strategies to build thriving workplaces. We talk: - Intensification of work - Perils of modern tech - Trauma awareness - How we recover - Rituals to rehumanise work Links: Work Here Now - The Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Work-Here-Now-Powerhouse-Workplace/dp/B0BVXFJ1MK/ Melissa's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/swiftmelissa/ Melissa's Twitter = https://twitter.com/meswift ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf7EeM8Fqbk

During his recovery, Edward felt uncharacteristically depressed. Was he down just because he was dwelling on the misfortune of his sore tooth? Or perhaps - perhaps he was depressed as a direct result of his physical infection. Was his depression actually emerging in his body as it fought the contamination? His idea was heresy within his medical community. As Descartes taught us, the mind is the mind, and the body is the body. In this episode with Professor Bullmore, now Head of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, we talk: - The mechanics of how inflammation can cause depression - Why the drugs industry has stalled on new mental drugs - The exciting potential for a new class of mental health drugs - Losing the distinction of 'mental' health. Is it just health? Links: https://amzn.to/2CsXKLa ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLaODkgv9g8
