Adrienne is digging into the Power Hour archives and today's episode comes from 2023. d

Amy Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School. Renowned for her world-leading research into the concept of psychological safety, Edmondson has been named by Thinkers50 as the most influential management thinker in the world.

In her new book, Right Kind of Wrong, Amy Edmondson - the world's most influential organisational psychologist - reveals how we get failure wrong, and how to get it right. She draws on a lifetime's research into the science of 'psychological safety' to show that the most successful cultures are those in which you can fail openly, without your mistakes being held against you.

She introduces the three archetypes of failure - simple, complex and intelligent - and explains how to harness the revolutionary potential of the good ones (and eliminate the bad). And she tells vivid stories ranging from the history of open heart surgery to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster, all to ask a simple, provocative question: What if it is only by learning to fail that we can hope to truly succeed?

Today Adrienne is joined by the brilliant Dr Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD. An internationally recognised Ayurveda practitioner, certified yoga therapist, and former ER doctor. Her approach brings together Western medicine with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda that comes from her South Asian lineage.

In her new book The Longevity Formula: Ayurvedic Principles to Reduce Inflammation, Increase Cellular Repair, and Live with Vitality  Dr Avanti invites us to reframe our approach to aging through The Longevity Formula―boosting longevity by reducing inflammation and increasing cellular repair. This approach to increasing our health span isn’t complicated, and it doesn’t require expensive tests or procedures. Instead, it offers simple, science-backed practices based in the time-honored tradition of Ayurveda.

Dr. Kumar-Singh has experienced the power of these practices herself. During her successful career as an emergency room doctor, she suffered a health crisis that Western medicine couldn’t fully resolve. In her search for answers, she returned to Ayurveda, the healing tradition of her South Asian roots. Ayurveda is a holistic system that shows us how to live in harmony with nature, with its daily and seasonal rhythms. It’s complementary with Western medicine, and it honors aging as a time of vitality and wisdom.

Her new book How to Stay Sane in a House Share is the friendly and informed guide to house sharing you have been waiting for. From how to choose the right housemate to navigating conflict when it (inevitably) arises, Alice draws on interviews with experts such as Professor Dunbar, 'The Millennial Therapist' Sara Kuburic and more to explore the anxieties that run the lives of young professionals living in house shares to help create a more harmonious home.
