Full Episode
Hey, it's Michael. For our final episode of 2024, guest host Melissa Kirsch is back, talking with some of our Times colleagues about the year's best advice for living well. I think this one's really special. Take a listen.
From The New York Times, this is The Daily. I'm Melissa Kirsch, Deputy Editor of Culture & Lifestyle. 2024 is coming to a close. This is traditionally a time of reflection when we look back on the year that was and look ahead to the year to come. So I'm talking with three of my colleagues whose jobs, in part, are to think about how we live and to think about how we can all live better.
Today, the year in wisdom. It's Tuesday, December 31st. Philip Galanis, welcome.
Hi, Melissa. How are you?
Good. How are you doing?
I'm just terrific. It's the last day of the year.
Yes, it is. So, Philip, for the past 16 years, you've been writing an advice column for The Times called Social Cues. Every week, you answer questions from readers on a pretty wide array of subjects. Give me a sense of that range.
Well, there's a ton about money. There is a lot about parenting and a lot about marriage, pets, your family's finances, the way your parents divide the money between siblings, the way your siblings treat you at Thanksgiving, the way your boss speaks to you in meetings. I can't think of a human relationship that I have not gotten a question about. It's everything.
And so it seems like you need to be an expert on everything.
