During the last three episodes of ManagementCast, Alyson Meister has outlined some of the most pertinent topics in mental well-being today, including how to develop a positive stress mindset, what to do when designing a workplace, and why solving the recovery paradox is so important.

This week, Meister is looking forward. Her research in the coming months will provide fresh new insights into the emerging trends in management, from the potential for psychedelics in the workplace to the effect of "overwhelm" on individuals and the mental construct of “should”. Through several research avenues, she is exploring how people put pressure on themselves throughout their careers, and what they can do to alleviate that.

In her fourth appearance on ManagementCast, Meister gives a preliminary look at her findings, and muses on what comes next in the world of workplace well-being.
