A huge ecosystem of scientific and unscientific health information bombards readers every day. We work at the New York Times desk to cut that noise and give accurate information and usable advice on how you can lead your healthiest, most satisfying life.
Well is organizing his first major public event on Wednesday. From 9:30 am Eastern Time, the Well Festival will contain 13 panels with Times Reporters and Editors who speak with doctors, relationship experts, athletes, authors and celebrities about topics that all relate to a single theme: maximize your happiness.
“At the end of the day, that is what most of us are looking for – for ourselves and for our loved ones,” said Lori Leibovich, the editor of Well. “Whether it is about better food, stronger relationships or a little more silence in a noisy world, happiness is the thread that connects so much of what we cover well.”
The event will be treated live by Times Journalists and a live stream will be available.
