| | | | Dear Reader, | What is it to have a good life is the question posed by John Maynard Keynes throughout James Graham's perfect play of his life, The Standard of Living (on at Royal Haymarket now). I'm not sure I have the answer but I do know 30 people who are doing incredibly good things for lives maybe not even born yet. Like a tree we plant that we'll never see grow to its full height, doing good works is often for the benefit of those who come after. Every year we celebrate these people in our Future Icons Power List, which we are publishing today. One has walked 8,000 miles for peace, another has given more than $1m to protect India’s wildlife and yet another has argued that rivers should have rights of their own. Read their stories, get inspired – and most importantly, do what you can to do something good. | | | C&TH’s Top Reads Of The Week | | CULTURE | The Rivals Cast Takes Us Behind The Scenes Of Series 2 Part 2 | C&TH meets Aidan Turner, Alex Hassell, Bella Maclean, Danny Dyer and more stars from the show |

| | | Spotlight: Wellness Trends To Know For 2027 | Ellie Smith taps up the experts on what’s trending in health right now | | This year was all about creatine, infrared workouts and fibre. But which wellness trends will take over 2027? As the backlash against obsessively tracking our health data continues to grow, the anti-optimisation movement will gain traction next year. We’re increasingly prioritising enjoyment, and not neglecting health but combatting issues when they arise rather than constantly seeking out stats – according to Holland & Barrett’s 2027 trends report, 57 percent of people only listen to their body when something already feels off. Meanwhile, as global temperatures soar, cooling rituals will become more and more important. The global hydration supplement market is on track to grow from £31 billion in 2026 to £66 billion by 2036, with nutrition brands formulating products specifically for higher temperatures. | Another big trend will be brain tweakments. Once reserved for medical neurology wards, brain-boosting technologies – which claim to restore and sharpen our minds – are all the rage right now. ExoMind, for instance, is an FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy which uses targeted electromagnetic energy to influence the parts of your brain which govern things like mood, impulse control and stress regulation. ‘Neuro-wellness is the missing link in modern self-care and burnout isn’t just about feeling tired, it’s a neurological overload,’ says Dr Preema Vig, whose Mayfair clinic offers the treatment. ‘ExoMind allows us to support the brain in the same way we support the skin, helping patients reset, recalibrate and feel like themselves again.’ | Find the full piece here | House Guest Podcast: Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich | | This week, Carole's House Guest is Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich – the American-born author, entrepreneur and yoga teacher who runs Mapperton, her husband Luke's family seat in west Dorset. 'Lunching in London is not even in my vocabulary,' says Julie. 'I am a doer.' Speaking from the Tudor manor house, she talks about rewilding 1,000 acres of the estate, the silk scarf that is funding the restoration of Mapperton's West Bedroom, her new book, and Stately, her new online members' club for lovers of Britain's historic houses, launching on 16 November.

She has bought and donated the flat as part of the new theatre initiative Writers’ Block, which aims to remove financial barriers for budding playwrights. Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne has also made a generous donation to the scheme, saying: ‘For many writers the need for a roof makes writing impossible which is why this pilot is so important. If we want stories told about our complicated world, we need writers of every background writing them.’ | | | Subscription Offer | Sign up for 12 print issues and instant access to every digital edition for only £39 |
