Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington has announced she's stepping down as editor-in-chief of the digital media outlet to focus on launching Thrive Global, a digital service which aims to help curb stress and exhaustion associated with the workplace.

Huffington commented 'Change is desperately needed if another generation is to avoid the burnout that all too often comes with success today. That's why I'm filled with excitement at the prospect of devoting the rest of my life to accelerating the culture shift away from merely surviving and succeeding to thriving'.
