If every aspect of your life is the same in 10 years as it is today, would you be happy? It is one of the many questions posed by celebrity doctor Rangan Chatterjee in his first ever live show, Thrive. Sure, it looks trite written down — the sort of thing you might find in a fortune cookie — as I realise are most of the quotes I’ve typed into my phone by the end of the first half of his nearly three-hour stint. Consider it, though. Would you be happy?
To listen to Chatterjee — whether live or on his chart-topping podcast, Feel Better, Live More — is to submit to simplicity. His listeners (there are millions) aren’t looking for groundbreaking medical advice or for remedies from far-flung corners of the Earth. When he touches on a topic like longevity, it feels approachable; the opposite of Bryan Johnson’s bells and whistles.
