Ready for a fabulous month of live-streamed author talks?
Bestselling author Dan Heath will kick off the month as he talks with us about his newest book, Reset: How to Change What’s Not Working, exploring a framework for getting unstuck and making the changes that matter. Then, tune in as award-winning journalist and author Clara Bingham chats with us about her new book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973. We’ll close out the month with a conversation with New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Weiner as we chat about the signature emotional depth of her books that have been inspiring readers toward self-discovery for decades. Additionally, in a special preview, Weiner will briefly discuss her forthcoming novel (due out on April 8, 2025) The Griffin Sister’s Greatest Hits.
Whether you join us for the live stream or go back to watch the recording, you can submit questions for our presenters when you register ahead of time for the talks! All registered participants will receive a link to the recording through their email.
