There is no wellness without fairness or worthiness.

So if you want a good life, find ways to promote the three.

matter to, including ourselves. Those feelings of invisibility and

insignificance, they can be deeply discouraging and the feeling of

mattering we know it is critical to a life well lived, which is why I am so excited to share today's

conversation with the world's leading researcher on Madering, Dr. Isaac Bertensky, inaugural chair of community well-being at the University of Miami.

Over his prolific career, Isaac has explored the concept of mattering and how it affects our

ability to live good lives.
