Boosting Your Mental Health, One Conversation at a Time

In this episode of Healthcare On Air, recorded live at the inaugural Healthcare On Air Summit, Calm CEO David Ko sits down for a candid Q&A on his new book, Recharge: Boosting Your Mental Health Battery One Conversation at a Time. The conversation explores science-backed ways to build resilience, distinguishing eustress from distress, alongside practical habits for better sleep quality, transparency at work, and everyday decompression. Ko reflects on the power of storytelling, the importance of trust and outcomes over app quantity, and how brands and evidence will shape the next era of mental health tools, including GenAI chatbots. It’s a grounded look at turning constant “always-on” pressure into healthier routines, and creating workplaces where people can bring their full selves, and actually feel better.
