To end the year, Melissa Kirsch, The New York Times’s deputy editor of Culture and Lifestyle, talks with Times reporters, editors and columnists whose jobs involve thinking about how we live, and how we might live better. First, she speaks with Philip Galanes, who writes the Social Q’s column, on what makes good advice. Then, Jancee Dunn, a reporter on the Well desk, shares some of the most useful tips she has gleaned this year. Finally, Daniel Jones, who has edited the Modern Love column for more than 20 years, reflects on the lessons he has learned about love. And we hear from listeners about the best advice they received this year.
For me, it was always about managing the fear and finding ways to use it until I could be motivated by the exact opposite of that.
And I never had to worry about the fear again because it didn't define me.

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 Melissa.
I'm Melissa Kirsch, deputy editor of culture and 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.
