SUMMARY:Author Talk with Julia Hotz - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Nature\, Art\, and Service as Medicine with Journalist Julia Hotz\, Journalist and Award-Winning Author of The Connection Cure\, Tuesday\, January 20th at 1 PM CT \nRegister and submit Questions here: https://libraryc.org/hutchpl/109228 \nBe sure to jump start your new year with us as we chat with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement\, Nature\, Art\, Service\, and Belonging.   \n  \nThe Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting\, moving patient success stories\, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing. Traditionally\, when we get sick\, health care professionals ask\, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world\, teams of doctors\, nurses\, therapists\, and social workers have started to flip the script\, asking “What matters to you?”  \n  \nScience shows that social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world’s most common ailments—depression\, ADHD\, addiction\, trauma\, anxiety\, chronic pain\, dementia\, diabetes\, and loneliness. By integrating age-old medicines like art\, nature\, movement\, and volunteer service into patient’s daily lives\, social prescriptions are radically changing health and healthcare in more than thirty countries. Julia Hotz travels around the world to survey them —sea-swimming lessons for depression\, “culture vitamins” for anxiety\,  a fishing club for ADHD\, a farm-based day-care for dementia\, a phone-buddy program for social isolation\, and many more. \n  \nAs the first book on social prescribing\, The Connection Cure empowers you to find\, experience\, and implement this revolutionary medicine in your own community. The success stories Julia finds bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment\, we can change our health. By reconnecting to what matters to us\, we can all start to feel better. \n  \nRegister today to find out how you can use the wisdom of social prescribing to live your best life! \nAbout the Author: Julia Hotz is a solutions focused journalist based in New York. Her stories have appeared in The New York Times\, WIRED\, Scientific American\, The Boston Globe\, Time\, and more. She helps other journalists report on the big new ideas changing the world at the Solutions Journalism Network. The Connection Cure is her first book.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with David Brooks - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Register and submit questions here: https://libraryc.org/hutchpl/109227 \nJoin us for a discussion with prominent cultural writer and bestselling author David Brooks on his book\, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply\, in which he helps us pose essential questions: If you want to know a person\, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to? \nDriven by his trademark sense of curiosity and determination to grow as a person\, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and the worlds of theater\, philosophy\, history\, and education to present a welcoming\, hopeful\, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others\, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation\, hostility\, and misperception. \nThe act of seeing another person\, Brooks argues\, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them and\, in turn\, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection\, and yearning to be understood. \nRegister now to take part in a riveting and timeless conversation on how to connect with people from all walks of life\, and why doing so is paramount to our individual and communal growth.  \nAbout the Author: David Brooks is one of the nation’s leading writers and commentators. He is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times\, a writer for The Atlantic\, and appears regularly on PBS Newshour. He is the bestselling author of The Second Mountain\, The Road to Character\, The Social Animal\, Bobos in Paradise\, and On Paradise Drive.
