AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS

Everyone wants better health, especially at this time of the year. So it may not be a surprise that more than 90 percent of all healthcare spending is focused on treating physical disease or symptoms. But did you know that most countries don’t even try to systematically measure mental, social, and spiritual health despite the fact that they are just as important as physical health? And even with more than $8 trillion spent each year globally to prevent disease, symptoms, and death, there is no standardized way of defining and measuring optimal health. In a new article, McKinsey Health Institute coleaders Lars Hartenstein and Tom Latkovic suggest we think more broadly about how we approach health and what it means to be healthy. Be sure to check it out and start the new year with a healthy mindset.

Quote of the day

“There is a saying that the most exciting companies are born in times of crises. Looking at today’s megatrends, such as cleantech, we see a clear shift away from the next shopping app or direct-to-consumer offerings toward ideas that have a truly positive impact on society.”

—Jenny Dreier, an investor at EQT Ventures, in “How start-ups can manage uncertain times: Insights from leading European venture capitalists”
