A book talk and signing with Daniel Goleman

Sunday, April 8th, 2018, 2:00pm-3:30pm

Join us for an afternoon book talk and signing with New York Times best-selling author and psychologist Daniel Goleman as he shares the strongest scientific findings on why meditation matters for our lives. Drawing on his newest book, co-written with neurologist Richard Davidson, Altered Traits: What Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Body and Brain, Goleman explores meditation and mindfulness as more than a quick fix or a modern day fad. Through cutting edge research, he reveals how human beings can employ meditation in order to achieve real, positive, and lasting mental and behavioral change.
