Arianna Huffington to write well-being content for Westin Hotels

Westin Hotels has tapped media mogul Arianna Huffington to serve as an ambassador for the professional and work pillar of the brand's wide-sweeping well-being movement, an ambitious and holistic campaign aimed at improving guests’ overall health across six channels.

After launching the mental and mindfulness arm of the program last month, the international hotel chain announced that Huffington will sit on its well-being council as an ambassador for professional careers.

That means that Huffington will contribute content to the hotel’s well-being portal. Her first contributions on the site include excerpts and ideas from her new book “Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom and Wonder.”

Tips include everything from getting more sleep and starting a gratitude list to letting go of unproductive and destructive thought patterns.

“When we include well-being in our definition of success, we see the benefits in every aspect of our lives,” Huffington said in a statement.

“Westin’s advocacy of holistic well-being taps into a real longing in people to live their lives with less burnout and more aliveness. So together we’ll be helping Westin associates and guests around the world take steps to practice well-being in their professional lives, by moving from knowing what to do to actually doing it.”

As chair and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, it would be no exaggeration to call the media mogul a trailblazer in the industry. But after collapsing from exhaustion in 2007, Huffington re-examined the definition of success and learned how to bring balance back in her life, a journey she chronicles in her new book.

In addition to the 'Work Well' pillar, Westin's well-being movement includes Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well and Play Well principles.
