"The more comfortable you are with yourself, the easier it is to
be healthy.” – Nelli Lähteenmäki

Nelli Lähteenmäki (@nellieliina) is co-founder of the super
successful YOU-App with Jamie Oliver, co-author of the recently
published Book of You and one of my favorite people in this
world. With her outgoing personality and irresistible
charme, this Silicon Valley entrepreneur does not
really fulfill the Finnish stereotype of being
introverted and quiet. Nelli spreads positive vibes and
happiness around her and with her big smile, quick wit, and
constant use of her favorites words “brilliant” and “awesome”,
she can brighten up a whole conference hall.

I first met Nelli at the European Quantified Self Conference a
couple of years ago and we instantly had a great connection. We
kept in touch ever since and I am regularly asking for her
valuable advice with all of my projects. Nelli’s quest to make
the world a healthier and happier place is being reflected in all
of her work, especially the highly successful YOU-App, which
she started with her co-founders Aleksi Hoffman and Nora
Rosendahl, as well as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver as brand icon.

In this episode, Nelli and I talk about the power of
micro-actions for self-affirmation and feeling good about
yourself. We dig into the research about habit change and what it
takes for you to make lasting changes and create a path to a more
fulfilled, happier, and healthier you. Enjoy!
