From "The Beaver" to "The Bieber" Wellness for the Ages with Michael Samuelson

From “The Beaver” to “The Bieber”

Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub;

It is the center hole that makes it useful.

Shape clay into a vessel;

It is the space within that makes it useful.

Cut doors and windows for a room;

It is the holes which make it useful.

Therefore profit comes from what is there;

Usefulness from what is not there.

- Lao Tzu, 6th century BC

“…success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen... you have to let it happen by not caring about it..”

What is Wellness?


Personal Wellness Defined

well·ness, \’wel-nəs\: a dynamic objective and subjective

progression toward a state of complete physical, intellectual,

emotional, spiritual and social wellbeing and not merely the

absence of disease or infirmity. Incremental improvements can

occur from pre-conception up to and including a person’s last

breath - m.samuelson

Corporate & Community Wellness Defined

…any activity, policy, attitude, and physical plant

circumstance that facilitates a person’s progression toward

complete physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and

social wellbeing and not merely the absence of harm

- m.samuelson

Six Key Fundamentals



1. The Process of Change:

– Intellectual (Informs)

– Emotional (Engages)

– Visceral (Call to Action)

– Cellular (Habit)

2. Help Others Answer the Question, “So What?” and the World will

beat a path to Your Door.

3. Focus on The Social Determinates of Population Health: The

Other 16 Hours (Home, Community & School)



4. The Ultimate Prevention Strategy is the Care and Feeding of Our

Children.

5. The Art of Living Trumps the Science of Life

6. Be Aware of and Beware of The Chronologically Superior.


Point of View


“Some things are hurrying into existence, and other things are

hurrying out of it; and, of that that is coming into existence, part is

already extinguished. Motions and changes are continually

renewing the world, just as the uninterrupted course of time is

always renewing the infinite duration of ages.”

- Marcus Aurelius Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

Point of View…

“Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.”
