The Health Crisis of Office Jobs - Bob King (Video)
In this 16 May 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Bob King, the founder and CEO of Humanscale. King is a premier designer and manufacturer of ergonomic office furniture. He is widely recognized for driving innovations in workplace ergonomics, notably collaborating with legendary designer Niels Diffrient to build iconic seating like the Humanscale Freedom Chair. He founded Humanscale in 1983 and focused on building intuitive office chairs that adapt dynamically to a user’s body weight without complex manual levers.
Is your desk job aging your body faster than you realize? Sitting may be part of getting work done, but the way most of us do it can wreck our posture, stiffen our joints, and create problems that show up years later. So what can you do at work every day to protect your future self?
Expect to learn why bad design might be the cause of your back problems, why sitting is so damaging to your health, what a healthy designed desk set-up looks like, if posture advice is mostly nonsense, how much physical discomfort degrades cognitive performance and more.
