Are you a lifelong learner of wisdom? Do ask why? Do you ask how to master new skills?
"Manhattan Lectures & Conversations" (MLC) is a group of growth-minded volunteers looking for engaging conversations and lectures. The vision is to connect people who love learning—old and young, singles and couples, boroughs and islanders alike, in a way that fosters both community and growth.
NYC has some of the greatest minds on earth coursing through it on a daily basis, so let's take advantage of that fact and get our learn on!
Additionally, we will have coffee and discussion after each lecture for those who are interested.

- FTI: How can we be healthier, anywhere we live?Link visible for attendees
# FTI: â…“ of americans are overweight, â…“ are obese. How can we be healthier, anywhere we live?
Most americans are overweight. ⅓ are actually obese. How can we enjoy our food, but also live healthier? I would say part of it is about being in a good mental state, the other is about remembering that the body only recognizes its full 30 mins after its full. This means when we eat, we should stop eating after a small quantity of food and wait 30 minutes. If we’re full, wait till the next meal. If not eat a bit more.
