Well Festival Livestream Video and Guest Lineup


How can you live a healthier, more fulfilling life?

That question is at the heart of what we do in the Well section. And on May 7, the first-ever Well Festival will bring that mission to live conversations with some of the most thoughtful minds in health, science and wellness.

Times journalists will interview a lineup of influential doctors, psychologists, relationship experts, athletes, celebrities, academics, chefs, podcasters and best-selling authors.

A livestream will be available for Times subscribers. Sign up for access and you will receive an email link to the video feed on the morning of the event.

The festival will include:

  • Tracee Ellis Ross, the actress and entrepreneur, on building a life of joy.

  • Dr. Peter Attia, author of “Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity,” on how to age well.

  • Suleika Jaouad, author of “Between Two Kingdoms” and “The Book of Alchemy,” on finding meaning in the face of adversity.

  • Lisa Damour, the psychologist and podcast host, and the activist Gabriela Nguyen on protecting your happiness in the age of social media.

  • Samin Nosrat, author of “Salt Fat Acid Heat,” and the psychologist Dacher Keltner on food as a source of nourishment, community and happiness.

  • Terry Real, the family therapist and author, on how to build healthier and more satisfying relationships.

  • Charlamagne Tha God on getting honest with ourselves about mental health.

  • Dr. Bob Waldinger on what his Harvard team has learned from 80 years of happiness research.

  • Robin Arzón, the head instructor at Peloton, and the Stanford psychologist Kelly McGonigal on how to find pleasure in movement.

  • Dan Harris, author of “10 Percent Happier,” the musician Sara Bareilles and the psychologist Dacher Keltner on thriving in an anxious world.

  • Jameela Jamil, the actress and activist, on making peace with your body.

  • Dwyane Wade, the former N.B.A. star, on masculinity, vulnerability and fatherhood.

Our reporters and editors will host these conversations, including some of the people behind Well bylines — like Jancee Dunn, Dani Blum and Lisa Miller. They’ll be joined by colleagues from around the The Times, including the food reporter Kim Severson, the national politics reporter Astead Herndon and Susan Dominus from The New York Times Magazine.
