About the show
The world is changing more rapidly than we ever thought possible. Technology and lifestyle solutions are our new normal; from the workplace to our social lives, how we monitor our wellbeing to how we raise our children. Whether it’s AI, wearable devices, superfoods or biotechnology, there’s rarely time for us to catch a breath before the next innovation is unveiled. But are we emotionally, physically and spiritually wired to thrive amidst such rapid change?
How Do We Manage? seeks to answer just that. Each week host Stephanie von Bismarck sits down with some of the world’s best thinkers, trailblazers and extraordinary people. They explore how to navigate some of life’s complexities and find a balance in this fast-moving world, without feeling overwhelmed and losing sight of what truly matters.
From the challenges of digital transformation to personal resilience, from sustainability to innovation. Across the series we’ll share practical tools and uncover inspiring ways to help us all keep up – and even thrive – while answering the simple question “How Do We Manage”.

@HowDoWeManage
Did you know that, according to a study by the University of Liverpool, as many as 16.5% of hospital admissions in the UK are caused by adverse reactions to medication? Or that most prescription drugs work for less than half the population? We can be very willing to take the medicines that are prescribed for us, but how much do we really know about what we are ingesting?
Dr Nick Barber is Emeritus Professor of Pharmacy at UCL, and the author of a new book called, ‘How To Take Drugs: A New Approach to Medication for Better Results and Fewer Side Effects’, in which he looks at the flaws in the prescription system and how you, as a patient, can have the utmost agency to decide which drugs are right for you to take.
Today he joins Stephanie in the studio to tell us about the efficacy of prescription drugs; the systems we can use to determine if what we’re taking is working for us; when we should be worried about the side effects; and whether the expensive painkillers really do any better than the cheap ones.
