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.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 22\, 2026 | 7:00 PM CT \nSituated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best\nA FAN webinar featuring Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ’16)\, in conversation with Nicholas Epley\,\nPh.D. (FAN ’26) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/DuckworthFANWebinar \nBook Giveaway: FAN is giving away copies of Situated to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. We are grateful for the financial support of Compass Health Center for this giveaway. \nIn her first book\, the #1 bestseller Grit\, Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ’16)\, the Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania\, showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance. Her new book\, Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best\, springs from her deepening realization that grit\, while necessary\, is sometimes not enough. How you position yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial. \nDuckworth’s research reveals the enormous influence wielded by everything from the objects within arm’s reach to our peers and mentors\, and even our zip code. We are often told to make the best of our situation\, but it is far better\, she argues\, to make the situation better first. Highlighting four essential elements of successful situations (peers\, mentors\, space\, and culture)\, she shows how high performers like Taylor Swift\, Michael Phelps\, and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. Along the way she explores why personality shifts from one situation to the next\, how to conquer temptation without willpower\, and how the company we keep shapes who we become. \nWith disarming honesty\, Duckworth also shares her own struggles with burnout and in her marriage\, and how learning to change her situation\, not herself\, made all the difference. Whatever you want to achieve\, there is a situation that can make the journey easier. \nDuckworth is faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative\, and founding faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics. She will be in conversation with Nicholas Epley\, Ph.D. (FAN ’26)\, the John Templeton Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavioral Science and faculty director of the Roman Family Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. \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 Scholars\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service\nCenter\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 28\, 2026 | 7:00 PM CT \nArtificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines\nA FAN program featuring Sherry Turkle\, Ph.D. (FAN ’15\, ’21)\, in conversation with Alison Flowers\nLatin School of Chicago\, Wrigley Theatre\, 59 W. North Blvd.\, Chicago\, IL 60610\nNo registration required. \nBook Giveaway: FAN is giving away copies of Artificial Intimacy to attendees\, while supplies last. \nIf social media came for our attention\, artificial intelligence is now coming for our capacity for attachment. Chatbots that speak to us in a human voice offer themselves as best friends\, lovers\, and psychotherapists\, and a growing share of teens and adults now turn to them for companionship and emotional support\, many preferring these relationships to human ones. \nIn Artificial Intimacy: Who We Become When We Talk to Machines\, MIT’s Sherry Turkle\, Ph.D. (FAN ’15\, ’21)\, the psychologist who pioneered our understanding of human-computer relationships\, argues that when we talk to chatbots as intimate machines\, we accept as sufficient what they can offer: the mere performance of intimacy\, empathy\, and love. We begin to think that pretend empathy is empathy enough. Drawing on decades as a chronicler of digital culture\, Turkle traces our new habit of talking to machines across the life cycle\, from children’s earliest attachments to how we face death. She shows how machines that promise to be the perfect companion\, always there and asking nothing in return\, are quietly teaching us to avoid risk\, sidestep hard conversations\, deny grief\, and relinquish the very skills that make us human: empathy\, resilience\, and the ability to navigate uncertainty. \nIn this long-awaited follow-up to her bestseller Reclaiming Conversation\, Turkle offers both a cautionary tale and a roadmap for reclaiming our humanity in the age of AI. \nTurkle is the New York Times bestselling author of Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other and the award-winning memoir The Empathy Diaries. She will be in conversation with Alison Flowers\, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist in Chicago and the founder of Spiralbound\, a production company that brings investigative reporting together with immersive storytelling. \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\, 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\, Evanston Township HS D202\, The Family Institute at Northwestern University\, Family Service Center\, Foundation 65\, The Frances Xavier Warde School\, Francis W.
