Creating foundations for the Czech Wellness Institute Jana Stará, 14. září 2021 Shinji Mizumura is one of the first wellness persons I have met when coming to the National Wellness Conference in Stevens Point in 2013. As members of the International group we spent some good time there, meeting each other and sharing the background of our wellness realities through our presentations. The Japanese Wellness Society is one of the oldest wellness organisations globally and every year they hold an annual meeting hosted at different universities across Japan. This year was unique, because they have for the first time opened their door for international speakers. Shinji invited me to share my journey that led to foundation of the Czech Wellness institute. Below I share it with you too. Following text and video was prepared for the 18th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Wellness Society in September 2021. You can see the slides here .

Well, I agreed and picked an essay "Week 17 -- Can Wellness Be Measured? If Not, Why Not? If So, How?". Below you can read the comment: Don--Measuring wellness--what a lifetime challenge. Mart Twain is credited with saying that it's better to deserve honors than to have them. Your essay suggests it's also much better to live wellness than to study and try to measure it. But, of course, deserving and receiving honors, and exploring how to measure wellness and living accordingly, are quite possible. These things are not mutually exclusive. Having lived 10 years in the world of books and research articles, that is having read it all, more or less, I can appreciate the challenge posed in seeking to grasp what wellness IS or SHOULD BE.
