Everyday Wellbeing
The UK’s fastest-growing news and insight platform for the care sector.
Practical tips, guidance, and inspiration to support your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing every day.
There are countless ways to invest in your wellbeing. A walk. A conversation. A good night’s sleep. A great book. And sometimes, learning something new.
One platform that has become increasingly popular in recent years is MasterClass, offering online courses taught by some of the world’s leading thinkers, authors, athletes, scientists and creatives. Our Editor in Chief swears by it.
While it’s often associated with cooking, writing and business, it also contains some fascinating classes focused on wellbeing, resilience, sleep, mindset and living a more balanced life.
Here are seven MasterClasses we think are particularly worth exploring.
If there is one wellbeing MasterClass we’d recommend to almost everyone, it’s this one.
Walker, one of the world’s leading sleep scientists, explores why sleep matters, what happens when we don’t get enough of it, and how small changes can improve the quality of our rest.
Why we love it:
Sleep is the foundation of almost every aspect of wellbeing.
Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zinn introduces viewers to the principles of mindful living and present-moment awareness.

Known for her work as a fitness instructor, author and motivational speaker, Robin’s course explores confidence, perseverance and navigating challenges.

Relationships are a huge part of wellbeing, and few people understand human connection better than Esther Perel.
Her classes explore communication, trust and the way we relate to one another.

Better relationships often lead to better wellbeing.
Pollan explores food, health, nature and how we connect with the world around us.
His thoughtful approach encourages a slower, more intentional way of living.

One of the advantages of MasterClass is that a single membership gives you access to its entire library.
That means you can explore wellbeing, leadership, cooking, writing, business, creativity and personal development all under one subscription.
At the time of writing, UK memberships start from around £120 per year, giving members unlimited access to hundreds of classes across a wide range of topics.
For avid learners, it can be excellent value.
The best wellbeing lessons don’t always come from traditional wellbeing sources.
Sometimes they come from athletes. Writers. Scientists. Entrepreneurs. Chefs. Musicians.
What they often share is a willingness to reflect on what helps people thrive. And perhaps that’s what wellbeing is really about.
Not finding one perfect answer. But collecting ideas, habits and perspectives that help us live a little better.
