How a healthy work life promotes a healthy life

In a world with 24-7 accessibility, sometimes it's hard to unplug from your job. But too much stress at work can be bad for your overall health. This week on WRVO's health and wellness show “Take Care,” hosts Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen speak with social psychologist Ron Friedman about how to promote well being and boost productivity at the same time. Friedman is also the author of the book, "The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace."

More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care," WRVO's health and wellness show Sunday at 6:30 p.m.  Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
