SUMMARY:[FAN] Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 15\, 2026 | 7:00 PM CT \nVibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World\nA FAN program featuring Adam Grant\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Greta Johnsen\nFrancis W. Parker School\, Heller Auditorium\, 2233 N. Clark St.\, Chicago\, IL 60614\nNo registration required. Post-event reception\, all are welcome. \nBook Giveaway: FAN FAN is giving away copies of Vibe to attendees\, while supplies last. We are grateful for the financial support of Compass Health Center for this giveaway. \nWhen we vibe with other people\, it fuels our happiness and success. Yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As face-to-face interaction gives way to digital screens\, communication gets outsourced to AI\, and the world becomes more polarized\, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing. \nTo reveal how we can forge faster\, stronger\, and longer bonds\, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant\, Ph.D. (FAN ’14\, ’16)\, offers groundbreaking studies\, expert insights\, and myth-busting stories. Grant’s new book Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World is filled with the eyeopening takeaways that have brought millions of readers to his books. Vibe teaches us that similarity is not necessary for solidarity\, chemistry doesn’t always happen quickly\, and closeness doesn’t always take time. \nAlong the way\, Grant introduces us to a crew of astronauts who learned to trust people they don’t like\, a comedy troupe that swears by taking time apart as a key to staying together\, a band that grew closer by learning to fight more\, and a journalist who designed a gathering that led to seventy-eight marriages. He also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more\, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities. \nVibe will change how you interact with people. No matter how good you are at connecting\, you can always get better—and help others get better too. \nGrant will be in conversation with Greta Johnson\, an interviewer\, podcast host\, event moderator\, and book person. She co-hosts HBO’s Official Game of Thrones Podcast\, writes the GRETAGRAM newsletter on Substack\, and is host and creator of the podcast Happy to Be Here. \nThis event is suitable for youth ages 12 and up. It will be recorded but not live streamed and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nSponsored by FAN\, partnership with The Alliance for Early Childhood\, The Ancona School\, The Avery Coonley School\, Avoca D37\, Baker Demonstration School\, Barrington D220\, Beacon Academy\, Bennett Day School\, Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School\, Brickton Montessori School\, British International School of Chicago\, Catherine Cook School\, Compass Health Center\, Connections Health\, Countryside Day School\, The Cove School\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service Center\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.
