About Mayo Clinic The Human Optimization Project
The bar for human performance is higher than it’s ever been. As a result, we all feel the need to do MORE. At the same time, we are becoming increasingly aware of the value of sleep, rest, recovery, and wellness. Accordingly, we also feel the need to do LESS. If you’re like most people, it can be challenging to reconcile this conflict of feeling the need to do MORE and LESS simultaneously, and that is likely contributing to high rates of burnout and decreased performance. So how do we reconcile these seemingly competing desires? That is where Human Optimization comes in. Human Optimization is the process of achieving more (however you define that for yourself) while simultaneously improving your wellness and well-being. Although it’s not easy, it’s certainly possible. Not only is it possible, but it is becoming increasingly essential. On this Mayo Clinic podcast series, we are going to dive into the topic of Human Optimization and will focus on a few key areas including: exercise, nutrition, culture, emotional intelligence, and finding joy in all you do.

E70 Human flourishing: What it is and how to do it
Published 7 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] But there is a sixth domain, financial and material stability, which is a key means to the other five ends. There are a lot of other factors that could be considered to be aspects of flourishing, but we focus on these five domains because they're important to most people across most cultures. We would say that they're almost universally desired. And each of these constitutes its own end. It is desired for its own sake, not only as as a means to another goal or end. And so the reason why we include this sixth domain is it's helpful for sustaining flourishing or it's a means to sustain the other domains as ends. […]
