SUMMARY:[FAN] Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do Suneel Gupta
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, February 12\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do\, a FAN webinar featuring Suneel Gupta\, in conversation with Debbie Millman. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/GuptaFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Everyday Dharma from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Gupta and Millman that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe’ve been conditioned\, from an early age\, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted\, we become burned out and cynical\, questioning the purpose of it all. \nAn expert on happiness and work\, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case. In his new book Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do\, Gupta helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller\, he weaves personal stories\, history\, science\, Eastern philosophy\, and Western modalities in this engaging\, enlightening\, and prescriptive book. \nAs the founding CEO of RISE and a visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School\, Gupta travels the world\, deconstructing how extraordinary performers overcome their most difficult moments. His work has been featured by outlets including Vanity Fair\, Fast Company\, and the New York Times. He will be in conversation with Debbie Millman\, host of the Webby Award-winning podcast Design Matters\, one of the first and longest running podcasts in the world; chair of the first-ever Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City; co-owner and editorial director of PrintMag.com; and the author of seven books on design and branding. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Attention Span: Find Focus\, Fight Distraction Gloria Mark\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 13\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Attention Span: Find Focus\, Fight Distraction\, a FAN webinar featuring Gloria Mark\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with David Epstein (FAN “16 and ’20) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/MarkFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Attention Span from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Mark that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe spend an average of just 47 seconds on any screen before shifting our attention. It takes 25 minutes to bring our attention back to a task after an interruption. And we interrupt ourselves more than we’re interrupted by others. In Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance\, Happiness and Productivity\, psychologist Gloria Mark\, Ph.D. reveals these and more surprising results from her decades of research into how technology affects our attention. \nBased on decades of original research in what Prof. Mark calls “living laboratories\,” where she studies technology use in people’s real-world environments\, Attention Span not only presents the science of exactly how short our attention spans have become\, how much we’re interrupted and how much stress that causes us\, but also how we can gain control of our attention and achieve wellbeing. \nProf. Mark is Chancellor’s Professor Emerita at the University of California\, Irvine\, and has been a visiting senior researcher at Microsoft Research since 2012. For over two decades she has studied the impact of digital media on people’s lives\, focusing on how using our devices affects our multitasking\, distractions\, mood\, and behavior. She has also been a Fulbright scholar and has received the prestigious NSF Career grant. \nProf. Mark will be in conversation with David Epstein (FAN ’16 and ’20)\, a science writer and author of the New York Times bestsellers Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World\, and The Sports Gene. Epstein was previously an investigative reporter at ProPublica\, and prior to that a senior writer at Sports Illustrated.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There Cass R. Sunstein
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 27\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There\, a FAN webinar featuring Cass R. Sunstein\, in conversation with Ayelet Fishbach\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/SunsteinFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Look Again from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Sunstein that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIt’s common to feel jaded and unexcited by what many consider the mundane in our day to day lives. Years into a dream job\, a happy relationship\, or a beloved apartment\, the very things that once thrilled us can take on the ho hum. We also get used to the terrible: corruption\, lies\, dirty air\, misinformation\, toxic relationships. \nBut what if we could find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity\, not only to the great things in your life\, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don’t try to change? In Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There professors Cass R. Sunstein and Tali Sharot\, Ph.D. share with readers a groundbreaking study of how disrupting our well-worn routines\, both good and bad\, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives. The key to this disruption—to seeing\, feeling\, and noticing again—is change. By temporarily changing your environment\, changing the rules\, changing the people you interact with—or even just stepping back and imagining change—you regain sensitivity\, allowing you to identify more clearly the bad and more deeply appreciate the good. \nProf. Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School and is the nation’s most-cited legal scholar. He taught at the University of Chicago Law School for 27 years\, and for the past fifteen years\, he has been at the forefront of behavioral economics. His book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health\, Wealth\, and Happiness\, coauthored with Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler\, was a national bestseller. From 2009 to 2012\, he served as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs; since that time\, he has served in the US government in multiple capacities. \nProf. Sunstein will be in conversation with Ayelet Fishbach\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22)\, the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago\, Booth School of Business\, and the author of the award-winning book Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. She is the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation and the International Social Cognition Network. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Practical Optimism: The Art\, Science\, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being Sue Varma\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 29\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Practical Optimism: The Art\, Science\, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being\, a FAN webinar featuring Sue Varma\, MD\, in conversation with Tara Lipinski. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/VarmaFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Practical Optimism from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Varma and Lipinski that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nSue Varma\, MD\, the first medical director treating first responders and civilians for PTSD\, depression\, and anxiety at the World Trade Center Mental Health program (WTC MHP)\, made a fascinating discovery: she realized that fostering an optimistic mindset firmly grounded in reality is crucial for making wise and reasonable decisions. In her debut book\, Practical Optimism: The Art\, Science\, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being\, Dr. Varma blends philosophy\, personal experiences\, and the latest research in psychology\, psychiatry\, medicine\, and neuroscience to guide readers on a path toward resilience and personal growth. \nOptimists tend to achieve more success\, report higher incomes and job satisfaction\, adopt healthier habits\, build stronger relationships\, and experience greater overall life satisfaction\, ultimately leading to increased happiness. Practical optimists are resourceful\, realistic\, and thoughtful problem solvers who possess something of rare value: the inner resources to cope during a crisis and to use as fuel to flourish. Practical optimism is a transformative approach to experiencing greater meaning\, mastery\, and acceptance. \nDr. Varma is a distinguished psychiatrist and cognitive behavioral therapist based and holds the position of Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at New York University Langone Health. Her accomplishments have been recognized by the American Psychiatric Association\, where she was named a Distinguished Fellow\, the highest honor bestowed upon its members. \nDr. Varma will be in conversation with Tara Lipinski\, the internationally acclaimed American figure skater. At the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano\, Japan\, Lipinski became the youngest female to capture the Olympic gold medal in figure-skating. She now has new roles as a sports commentator\, an actress\, a documentary film producer\, a philanthropist\, and more. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.
