Do you want to:
- Live up to your values: become more fulfilled, and productive?
- Better achieve your personal and career goals?
- Connect to other community members on a deeper level by going on this journey together?
We [at Rethink Wellbeing] aim to help YOU flourish.
What we do for you
Jump on a Zoom Call once a week with a carefully chosen peer for 1:1s and a group of 5-8 like-minded EAs with the same goal, guided by a trained facilitator. Share personal experiences, learn with and from each other, and hold each other accountable. Together, you will boost your productivity and well-being by applying proven psychological techniques:
We pick these techniques because they’ve been shown to be the most effective in increasing resilience, productivity, and quality of life while reducing and protecting against anxiety, depression, and stress—or even symptoms of ADHD. We use a plethora of helpful tools, from online materials to apps and workbooks. Our content is bespoke to the needs, problems, and preferences of effective altruists. Overcome perfectionism, procrastination, existential dread, and other psychological burdens that come with attacking the world’s most pressing issues.

How it works
- We ask you about your needs and preferences.
- We match you up with an exclusive peer group, tools, and mode of support accordingly.
- You meet your peers for 2h/ week for 4-8 weeks to learn new tools, apply them to your life, and share experiences.
In the end, you likely will be a better version of yourself, live up more to your values, and have formed some friendships.
The support groups we are launching are similar, in some ways, to the concept of mastermind groups. If you have left your email on the corresponding post, you will be automatically notified when we launch.

How do you operationalize who counts as a member of the EA community? Is it based on self-identity?
We will likely start with people who already have an EA-aligned job or donate effectively.
