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
Scrolling through social media we’re presented with all sorts of methods to live longer: supplements, bio-hacking, optimisation. All this speaks to a very individualistic approach to health, but actually one of the biggest factors to maximise your longevity is where you live.
Today’s guest, Dr Devi Sridhar is a professor and Chair of global public health at Edinburgh University. She’s written a book called ‘How Not To Die (Too Soon)’ that looks at how governments handle food, education, healthcare systems – even policy around gun violence, clean water and safe roads – can have a huge impact on life expectancy. She poses the idea of making longevity a collective thing, rather than putting the pressure on individuals.
Your postcode can have a huge impact on your health; whether that’s to do with food, education, or healthcare systems; or even policy around gun violence, safe roads and clean water.
In this episode Dr Sridhar tells Stephanie about the state of health around the world, the countries that we can learn from and the things you can change in your life right now to help you live longer.
