Yet for all the attention given to what we eat, how we exercise and the products we buy, some of the most unexpected influences on how well we feel are hiding in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Currencies of Wellness\u003c\/em\u003e explores the unexpected science of everyday well-being and the small, surprising behaviors, environments and interactions that can influence how we feel physically, emotionally and socially. From movement, play and human connection to comfort, nature, music and a sense of purpose, well-being is being shaped throughout the day-often in ways we barely notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrand strategist Tricia Nichols brings these seemingly disparate influences together through an original framework: the Five Currencies of Wellness-Nutrients, Not Toxins; Play \u0026amp; Movement; Comfort; Togetherness; and Legacy. Drawing on behavioral science, consumer psychology and research into the body's feel-good messenger systems, she examines why everyday experiences matter and how small, intentional choices can support healthier, happier and more connected lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the implications extend beyond the choices individuals make. Brands, particularly those outside the traditional wellness space, are already embedded in many of these everyday moments. They can influence what we eat, how we move, the environments we spend time in, how we connect with others and even the rituals that bring comfort or meaning to our days. Whether they intend to or not, these brands are shaping our well-being. The opportunity is to do it more intentionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on more than two decades of experience leading consumer engagement and marketing for global brands including PepsiCo, Gap, Estée Lauder and Under Armour, Nichols translates this thinking into practical brand strategy. More than seventy actionable ideas demonstrate how companies far outside the traditional wellness category can make thoughtful choices across experiences, products and services that support consumer well-being while strengthening emotional connection and creating what Nichols calls Brand Bonding. Creativity and levity run through the examples, revealing unexpected ways brands can engage our feel-good messengers and make everyday experiences more rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Currencies of Wellness\u003c\/em\u003e is both a guide for curious readers who want to better understand the overlooked forces shaping how they feel and a practical framework for CEOs, founders, marketers, entrepreneurs and brand leaders looking for new ways to create meaningful value in people's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe premise is simple and consequential: once we recognize that we are already engineered for wellness, and that daily opportunities for well-being are all around us, we can make better choices for ourselves-and create better experiences for others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tricia Nichols\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wellbent Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798997447007","brand":"Wellbent Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48348117762185,"sku":"9798997447007","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0faf19e0-6757-45dd-b41d-17bc0f0e19fd.jpg?v=1789454504","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-currencies-of-wellness-a-field-guide-to-the-unexpected-ways-brands-can-shape-everyday-well-being-9798997447007","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
