The Wellness Paradox is grounded in real stories, research, and reflection, offering insight into how to rethink what living and working well actually mean and how to create a life that feels good, not just looks good.

This book presents a new way of living and working for a generation raised to do more. While the wellness movement encourages us to work smarter, rest more, and find balance, many of us are so busy doing these things that we end up feeling more exhausted and disconnected than ever.

The Wellness Paradox exposes the uncomfortable truth about modern life: the very systems meant to support us are the ones wearing us down. It’s not a lack of resilience, time, or self-care that's the problem; it’s the culture we've built around doing, achieving, and appearing “well.”

This book is for leaders, educators, and young professionals navigating the landscape of modern work. It’s for anyone who has followed all the rules, worked hard, tried to find balance, and ticked every box — yet still feels like something's missing.

By inviting readers to reconsider what living and working well actually entail, The Wellness Paradox aims to help you create a life that truly feels good.

About the Author

Amy Green is a leading voice in leadership and the future of work. She is a speaker, author and consultant who helps people and workplaces rethink the way they live and work, and unplug from the systems, expectations and ways of working that are no longer serving them.

Known for her bold yet practical approach, Amy draws on her experience as a teacher, leader and wellbeing strategist to cut through the noise of quick fixes and over-complication. Her work challenges traditional ideas of success, wellbeing and performance, helping individuals and organisations create more sustainable, human-centred ways of working and living.
