info_outlineToday we're talking to Martha Knudson, who is Executive Director of the Utah State Well-being Committee for the Legal Profession, and she's helping us examine an intractable problem. Lawyers are smart, driven, and members of a highly lucrative profession. They're one of our society's paragons of success! And yet, they experience substance abuse and mental health problems at rates far higher than the general population.
What's going on with lawyer well-being, and are there any way to turn these trends around?
Martha has some ideas. That's because in addition to nearly two decades of work as a lawyer, Martha also has a degree in Applied Positive Psychology. She studied under one of the legendary founders of the field of Positive Psychology, Martin Seligman, and she now combines her two fields of expertise to train lawyers on ways to make their lives happier, more satisfying, and more meaningful.
