Listen as host Sebastian Calmes, Wellness Specialist, and Trey Conatser, Assistant Provost for Teaching & Learning, discuss the essential topic of intellectual well-being. As work and education further integrate with artificial intelligence, what should we be mindful of when using AI, so we take care of our intellectual well-being? What’s the difference between large language models and AI? What is a balanced approach to using AI in a complementary way to our creative and learning endeavors, as opposed to replacing our capacity for creativity, critical thought and engaged learning. It’s time to become more wildly resilient! Key Takeaways: 1. Intellectual well-being is multi-dimensional It includes having a clear sense of purpose, feeling empowered to act (agency), believing in your ability to learn (self-efficacy), connecting with others and knowing your work matters. These elements help people stay engaged and resilient in a changing world. 2. Active learning and motivation awareness are essential Learning is most effective when it’s hands-on and reflective. Understanding what motivates you—and how to activate that motivation—helps you overcome challenges and grow intellectually. 3.
