SUMMARY:Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others Adam Galinsky\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 3\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\, a FAN webinar featuring Adam Galinsky\, Ph.D. in conversation with Amy C. Edmondson\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/AGFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Inspire from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Galinsky and Edmondson that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nSocial psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky\, Ph.D. has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating\, and where various leaders—presidents\, CEOs\, coaches\, teachers\, parents\, and a wealth of others—currently land on that spectrum. In his new book Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\, Galinsky shows how inspiring leaders can fill us with a wellspring of hope and possibility as they guide us to become better versions of ourselves. In contrast\, infuriating leaders disappoint and annoy\, fueling seething cauldrons of rage. But both types of leaders are deeply connected—together\, they represent a universal continuum that is rooted in the very architecture of the human brain. This means that inspiring leaders aren’t born—instead\, we can inspire or infuriate in any given moment through our behavior\, words\, or presence. \nWhether you’re a leader\, a member of a team\, a spouse\, or a parent\, this engaging and rigorous exploration unpacks the science of inspiration. Through compelling stories\, fascinating research\, and practical tips for addressing the common dilemmas we face daily\, Inspire reveals how all of us\, regardless of status or circumstance\, can be more inspiring more often. \nGalinsky is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School and has published more than 200 scientific articles on leadership\, negotiations\, diversity\, and ethics. He is an Executive/Associate Producer on two documentaries short-listed for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. \nGalinsky will be in conversation with Amy C. Edmondson\, Ph.D.\, the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School\, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. She studies teaming\, psychological safety\, and organizational learning. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:99% Perspiration: A New Working History of the American Way of Life
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 5\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, 99% Perspiration: A New Working History of the American Way of Life\, a FAN webinar featuring Adam Chandler in conversation with Kathy Gilsinan. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ChandlerFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of 99% Perspiration from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Chandler and Gilsinan that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” This phrase\, arguably Thomas Edison’s most famous quote\, has been drilled into the minds of generations of Americans. A straightforward iteration of the idea that innovation\, discovery\, and ingenuity are the result of drive and grit above all\, it has also come to represent much darker myths: that hard work always leads to success and that achievement is the product of individuals and not communities. In this model\, those who come out on top are there because they earned it\, and everyone else needs to buckle down\, glove up\, and\, maybe one day\, they’ll get there too. \nAs the wealth gap widens\, communities crumble\, and Americans work more for less\, journalist Adam Chandler raises the question: What happens when perspiration isn’t enough? To answer it in his new book 99% Perspiration: A New Working History of the American Way of Life\, Chandler crisscrosses the country interviewing mayors\, teachers\, generals\, pastors\, construction workers\, and entrepreneurs\, to reveal just how untenable relying on “perspiration” as a strategy has truly become. He also delves into America’s past to reveal how our government\, education system\, and culture at large have woven the idea of meritocracy deep into the fabric of American society and how some of history’s most famous so-called bootstrappers really built their wealth. From George Washington to Seattle\, Washington\, Jay Gatsby to Bill Gates\, 99% Perspiration unpacks the misguided obsession with hard work that has come to define both the American dream and nightmare\, offering insight into how we got here and hope for where we may go. \nChandler is the author of Drive-Thru Dreams: A Journey Through the Heart of America’s Fast-Food Kingdom and a recurring guest on The History Channel’s The Food That Built America. A former staff writer at The Atlantic\, Chandler’s work has also appeared in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Washington Post\, WIRED\, and elsewhere. \nChandler will be in conversation with Kathy Gilsinan\, author of The Helpers: Profiles from the Front Lines of the Pandemic\, and a senior editor at Puck News. Previously she covered the Midwest for Politico Magazine and was a senior editor and staff writer at The Atlantic\, where she ran the international coverage before covering foreign policy and national security herself. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Shift: Managing Your Emotions -- So They Don't Manage You Ethan Kross\, Ph.D. (1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 6\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, Shift: Managing Your Emotions — So They Don’t Manage You\, a FAN webinar featuring Ethan Kross\, Ph.D. in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ‘22). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/KPFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Shift to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWhether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor\, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic\, or devastation after a painful break-up\, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be\, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad\,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time\, they function like an immune system\, alerting us to our surroundings\, telling us how to react to a situation\, and helping us make the right choices. \nBut how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross\, Ph.D. has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In his new bestselling book Shift: Managing Your Emotions — So They Don’t Manage You\, he dispels common myths—for instance\, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives. \nShift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds\, our relationships with other people\, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. \nKross is the director of the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan and professor in its top ranked psychology department and Ross School of Business. His book Chatter: The Voice in Our Head\, Why it Matters\, and How to Harness It was an international bestseller. \nKross will be in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ’22)\, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several provocative\, bestselling books about business\, work\, creativity\, and behavior\, including The Power of Regret\, When\, To Sell Is Human\, Drive\, and A Whole New Mind. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Me\, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change Olga Khazan
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 17\, 2025\, 7:00 PM CT\, Me\, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change\, a FAN webinar featuring Olga Khazan in conversation with Maria Konnikova. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/KhazanFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Me\, But Better from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Khazan that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn recent years\, Olga Khazan had been spiraling toward an existential crisis. Though she treasured her loving relationship and her dream job\, her neurotic personality often left her snatching dissatisfaction from the jaws of happiness. While her overachieving had always been a professional asset\, Khazan lately felt like her brittle disposition could shatter under the weight of just one more thing—but could she really change her entire personality? \nResearch shows that you can alter your personality traits by behaving in ways that align with the kind of person you’d like to be—a process that can make you happier\, healthier\, and more successful. In Me\, But Better: The Science and Promise of Personality Change\, Khazan embarks on an experiment to see whether it’s possible to go from dwelling in dread to “radiating joy.” For one year\, she reluctantly clicked “yes” on a bucket list of new experiences—from meditation to improv to sailing—that forced her to at least act happy. With a skeptic’s eye\, Khazan brings you on her journey through the science of personality\, presenting evidence-backed techniques to help you change your mind for the better. Sharply witty and deeply fascinating\, Me\, But Better offers a probing inquiry into what it means to live a fulfilling life\, and how you can keep diving into change\, no matter how uncomfortable it feels. \nKhazan is a staff writer for The Atlantic and the author of the 2020 book Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World. She has also written for the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Washington Post\, Forbes\, and other publications. \nKhazan will be in conversation with Maria Konnikova\, the author\, most recently\, of The Biggest Bluff\, a New York Times bestseller\, and the bestsellers The Confidence Game and Mastermind. She is the cohost\, along with Nate Silver\, of the weekly podcast Risky Business. While researching The Biggest Bluff\, Konnikova became an international poker champion\, a World Series of Poker Bracelet Winner\, an ambassador for PokerStars Team Pro\, and the winner of over $1\,000\,000 in tournament earnings. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
