SUMMARY:Daniel Levitin: Successful Aging
DESCRIPTION:Author of the iconic bestsellers This Is Your Brain on Music and The Organized Mind\, Daniel Levitin turns his keen insights to what happens in our brains as we age\, why we should think about health span\, not life span\, and\, based on a rigorous analysis of neuroscientific evidence\, what you can do to make the most of your seventies\, eighties\, and nineties today no matter how old you are now.\n\nSuccessful Aging uses research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences to show that sixty-plus years is a unique developmental stage that\, like infancy or adolescence\, has its own demands and distinct advantages. Levitin looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously\, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people’s wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means\, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical\, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. \nThe book is packed with accessible and discussable takeaways\, providing great material for reading groups and media coverage. \nSuccessful Aging inspires a powerful new approach to how readers think about our final decades\, and it will revolutionize the way we plan for old age as individuals\, family members\, and citizens within a society where the average life expectancy continues to rise. \nJoin us in the Rare Book room at The Strand for the release of Levitin’s new book. \nDoors open at 6:30pm. \nAdmission: $15 \nAdmission with signed copy of the book: $30

SUMMARY:Thomas More's Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Using Thomas More’s Utopia as our foundation\, we’ll examine our own state of mental and emotional health in present day society during this living room Olio event with professor Patricia Kim. \n​Why does the future look so bleak? And what does that have to do with the state of our individual and collective mental health? \nMuch of the dialogue in this Olio will be about our own state of mental and emotional affairs. History is a collection of traumatic events that have been scripted in human blood and mortality and we have all been dropped into its narrative miasma. This makes for a great deal of stress that we will collectively take on in an ad hoc group therapy modality. We will use Thomas More’s ‘Utopia’ to frame our undeniably parallel social issues and better understand not just the text\, but ourselves as individuals. We’ll begin by examining trauma and its aftermath (both historically and presently) and end with examining the following NYC Dept. of Health’s statistic: that 1 in 5 New Yorkers has a mental disorder. We will then look at how depression and anxiety (two of the most prevalent diagnoses) have affected our present\, and perhaps\, more importantly\, their effects on our collective future. \nQuestions to think about: \nWhat are More’s thoughts on social ills and their relationship to mental illness? What are yours?\nWould More be surprised at the state of our society today? Why or why not? \nWhat are the ways in which we can collectively work to become a healthier community/society? \nAbout the Teacher: \nPatricia Kim received her MFA from Columbia University and teaches Composition and Literature classes at Baruch College while completing a novel.

SUMMARY:Don’t Be Evil: Rana Foroohar
DESCRIPTION:In the early days\, when Google was a scrappy upstart with a utopian vision of transforming the world for the better through tech\, its mantra was “Don’t be evil.” But they and other behemoths of the tech world—including Amazon\, Facebook\, and Apple—have long since abandoned their founding principles in the name of monetizing both our data and our attention through digital surveillance\, privacy breaches\, predatory algorithms\, and products designed to manipulate our desires. Don’t Be Evil is acclaimed journalist Rana Foroohar’s investigation of the dark turn tech has taken from weaving our social fabric to undoing it.

SUMMARY:Sir Roger Penrose in Conversation with Janna Levin
DESCRIPTION:Sir Roger Penrose was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his remarkable contributions to mathematics and physics. He is one of only twenty-two living recipients of the honor. Sir Roger\, as he is fondly known to other physicists\, is a relentlessly creative genius of the highest order. He has contributed profoundly to the structure of spacetime and geometry\, black holes\, the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity\, and the origin of our universe. His radical ideas on consciousness have provoked controversy and fascination\, while his playful geometric tilings were thought to be impossible in reality. Though intuition defying\, Penrose tilings ignited the imaginations of filmmakers and artists and ultimately were discovered in nature. Join Pioneer Works Director of Sciences Janna Levin as she hosts Sir Roger Penrose in a conversation that will stretch across the universe\, theories of consciousness\, and infinity. \nJoin us after the conversation for a book signing with Sir Penrose. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Weather permitting\, there will also be stargazing with the Amateur Astronomers Association of NY in our garden. \nSir Roger Penrose\, Order of Merit and Fellow of the Royal Society\, is presently Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow at Wadham College. He won\, among many other awards\, the Wolf Prize in Physics\, which he shared with Stephen Hawking for the Hawking-Penrose Singularity Theorems. \nJanna Levin is the Chair and Director of the Science Studios at Pioneer Works. She is the Claire Tow Professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. Janna is a Guggenheim Fellow and a PEN-award winning novelist for a first work of fiction. She is the presenter of the NOVA feature Black Hole Apocalypse\, aired on PBS—the first female presenter for NOVA in 35 years. \n  \nDOORS AT 7PM\nCONVERSATION AT 8PM

SUMMARY:Medieval Medicine and Literature: A Galenic Presence in Dante’s Writing
DESCRIPTION:The attention to the relation between medieval medicine and Dante’s writing shows how contemporary scientific thought manifests itself both in evident and less explicit terms\, which allude not to exclusively scientific concepts\, but to structures of thought shared by other contemporary intellectual discussions\, such as philosophy\, ethics\, political thought. This lecture investigates how the manifest incidence of strictly medical – and more precisely Galenic – notions\, such as complexio or the hegemonic principle which rules the human being – permits the investigation of a more oblique presence\, where medicine contributes to the formation of complex and multifaceted content. \nA lecture by Paola Ureni\, CUNY.

SUMMARY:The Seine: The River That Made Paris
DESCRIPTION:Voyage down the Seine with journalist Elaine Sciolino as she explores the history of the beloved Parisian river and the lives it shapes. \nIn the spring of 1978\, as a young journalist in Paris\, Elaine Sciolino was seduced by a river.

She patrols with river police\, rows with a restorer of antique boats\, discovers a champagne vineyard\, and even dares to swim in the Seine.

She follows the Seine to Le Havre\, where it meets the sea. Braiding memoir\, travelogue and history through the Seine’s winding route\, Sciolino offers a love letter to Paris and the river at its heart and invites readers to explore its magic. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Villains of History: On Adolf Hitler with Dr. Benjamin Hett and Dr. Gail Saltz
DESCRIPTION:Behind the infamous deeds of history’s most notorious figures lie complex and mysterious human minds. Dr. Gail Saltz\, the author\, psychoanalyst and television commentator\, invites experts and brings her own expertise to bear as she examines the psychology of the villains of history\, including Adolf Hitler. \nWhy did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? What personally drove Hitler to become a dictator and architect of mass genocide? Join Dr. Saltz and Dr. Benjamin Hett for this conversation on how Hitler used populist insurgencies to bring the Nazis to power and how the misguided confidence of conservative politicians resulted in a failure to recognize that their efforts played directly into Hitler’s hands. Hett\, a scholar and gifted storyteller\, will share how Hitler was able to take hold of the government\, the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians who allowed it to happen.

SUMMARY:Festival Albertine: How Do We Get People to Care
DESCRIPTION:Artists and activists will be called upon to discuss how to change people’s minds and amplify the call to action.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\, music\, drama—these are key resources for societies trying to come to grips with new realities. In recent years we’ve seen them begin to grapple with climate change\, but that engagement must now grow. The arts have traditionally engaged with what seemed the most dramatic questions: the struggles of one set of human beings with another. That struggle is still underway\, of course\, but now we’ve added something different: the terrifying drama of people with a suddenly angry natural world. How does this new moment redefine what we think about when we take up brush or pen\, camera or keyboard? What is the work of a poet in a world on fire\, or an orchestra in a city where the seas are rising?\n\nWith Irina Brook\, Lauren Groff\, Fabrice Hyber\, and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky. Moderated by Bill McKibben.
