The Future of Health and Medicine is a fascinating topic that I love to explore with people around the world. In Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health, Dr. Sandro Galea focuses on other pieces of that broader context that are so important to our health: economics, environment, politics, and social.

Multi-generational teams, longer careers, upskilling… how can we prepare, and ultimately, thrive at work as lifespans and healthspans increase? As a scientist and futurist, I believe that t the stories we tell, the systems we build, and the ways we assign value are three factors that will hugely impact the futures that we create together. Here’s an example of this idea from something I read a few weeks ago. 

What does the future hold for longevity, and why should we strive to live our longest, healthiest lives? As leaders, business people, and citizens, what motivates us to put in the hard work to shape this future? Join me as I delve into these thought-provoking questions during my keynote address at the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year event in Monaco.

Are we prepared, as individuals, organizations, and societies, for radically longer and healthier lives? At the Festival de las Ideas in Mexico, I asked students, teachers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and other professionals to think deeply about this question. One year later, I revisit this question and share my thoughts on how we can all build a healthier future, together.
