Dear How To community,

Few of us will be able to remember a time when the future felt more uncertain or the present more precarious than it does now. Our new livestreams offer geopolitical insight, psychological support and a creative outlet in a time when all three are urgently needed.

FT economist Martin Wolf joins Matthew Stadlen to apply his expertise to the unfolding economic crisis; while from the US, former surgeon general Vivek Murthy will explore a crisis of a different nature – that of loneliness and isolation.

And following the terrific success of our first creative masterclass with biographer Frances Wilson, we’re thrilled to announce a new three-part series from legendary filmmaker Eliot Grove on the art and craft of writing for the screen.

Stay safe and well.
