Jodi Wellman

Jodi Wellman is a speaker, author, and the founder of "Four Thousand Mondays." She holds a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Wellman’s work centers on the concept of "memento mori"—remembering that we must die—but she uses it as a tool for vitality rather than morbidity. She transitioned from a corporate executive career to studying the science of living well.\n\nShe is the author of You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets. Wellman’s philosophy is that the scarcity of time is what gives life its value. She categorizes people into different archetypes based on how much "aliveness" and meaning they experience. Her work offers practical strategies to combat boredom and "autopilot" living, encouraging people to count their Mondays and make them count.
