This video is from our 2013 Health Horizons Map of the Decade, Reworking Health: New Authorities in a Well-being Economy, which is a guide to the new tools and resources that can
augment traditional health work—as well as the new health and well-being authorities that will emerge from unexpected places. 

As health systems move from focusing exclusively on treating illness toward a more person- centered approach to well-being, traditional health providers will be augmented by new kinds of professionals who focus on amplifying what is going well. Based on using play and narrative at precise points when they are most likely to meaningfully improve health and well-being outcomes, these efforts will expand the ways that health providers use positive emotions to engage patients.
