About Thrive
We’re on a mission to end the burnout epidemic
It’s the biggest challenge of our time, affecting every aspect of our work and life. And our team is leading the way.
A wake-up call to change the way we work and live
After her collapse from sleep deprivation and exhaustion in 2007, Arianna Huffington became more and more passionate about the connection between well-being and performance.
In 2016, she launched Thrive to help individuals, companies, and communities improve their well-being and performance – and debunk the collective delusion that burnout is the price we must pay for success. Since then she has been working with leaders across all the scientific disciplines related to burnout.
