Have you turned the act of pretending you’re “fine” into an art form? Does self-care feel like one more item on your already long to-do list? \nWe’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. But according to New York Times bestselling author\, organizational psychologist\, and researcher Dr. Tasha Eurich\, there is one problem with this assumption. Scientifically\, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource\, especially with the growing pressure and uncertainty we’re experiencing today. \nWhether you’re grappling with work stress\, personal challenges\, or the chaos of everyday life\, Shatterproof offers an urgent alternative to stoic endurance as the only strategy for survival. Combining cutting-edge research\, practical tools\, and insights from her own struggle with a life-defining health crisis\, Dr. Eurich will overturn your beliefs about what it takes to thrive through adversity\, offering a scientifically supported system to help you feel better\, do better\, and live better than before. You’ll discover how to: \n\nReclaim your best self when stress turns you into someone you barely recognize\nUncover the unmet needs that keep you stuck in self-limiting patterns\nTurn stress into strength\, exhaustion into energy\, and confusion into confidence\nFind peace in the present and be prepared for what the future holds\, and much more!\n\nThis timely discussion with Dr. Eurich is sure to unlock powerful new ideas about how to show up as our best selves. Register now to be a part of the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Dr. Tasha Eurich is an organizational psychologist\, researcher\, and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to help people and organizations thrive in an ever-changing world. Recognized as the world’s leading self-awareness coach (Marshall Goldsmith Coaching Awards) and communication expert (Global Gurus)\, she’s spent over two decades teaching people practical strategies to supercharge their self-awareness\, sanity\, and success. Her work has been featured in outlets like The Wall Street Journal\, The New York Times\, Harvard Business Review\, NPR\, CNN\, NBC\, and Fast Company\, as well as peer-reviewed journals.

SUMMARY:Returning to Romance Through Food and Flirty Fun in Fiction with Casey McQuiston
DESCRIPTION:Register for this online event here: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/upcoming. \nBring an appetite for sizzling drama as we discuss New York Times bestselling author Casey McQuiston’s latest romantic comedy\, The Pairing. \nWhen two bisexual exes accidentally book the same European food and wine tour\, they challenge each other to a hookup competition to prove they’re over each other—except they’re definitely not. \nTheo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends\, crushes\, in love\, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour\, they exited each other’s lives once and for all. \nTime apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day\, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit\, who never returned to America\, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris. Sure\, nothing really compares to what they had\, and life stretches out long and lonely ahead of them\, but—yeah. It’s in the past. \nAll that remains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened\, good for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years later\, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separately. \nIt’s not until they board the tour bus that they discover they’ve both accidentally had the exact same idea\, and now they’re trapped with each other for three weeks of stunning views\, luscious flavors\, and the most romantic cities of France\, Spain\, and Italy. It’s fine. There’s nothing left between them. So much nothing that\, when Theo suggests a friendly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first\, Kit is totally game. And why stop there? Why not a full-on European hookup competition? \nBut sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can’t have. \nRegister now to join our discussion about Casey McQuiston’s spiciest book yet! \nAbout the Author: Casey McQuiston is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of romantic comedies\, including One Last Stop\, Red\, White & Royal Blue\, I Kissed Shara Wheeler\, and The Pairing. Red\, White & Royal Blue was adapted into a movie in 2023 and released on Amazon Prime. Casey was recently named on the 2022 Time100 Next List.

SUMMARY:The Stories\, Science\, and History of Birds with Smithsonian Biologist Jay Falk
DESCRIPTION:Register for this online event here: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/upcoming. \nDelve into the fascinating world of birds through astonishing photography and clear explanations in this absorbing global guide\, The Bird Book: The Stories\, Science\, and History of Birds. \nBirds are dinosaurs with a history going back millions of years. Our fascination with them runs deep in history\, and our close association is reflected in creation stories\, myths\, legends\, songs\, and children’s stories. \nThis book and presentation explore: \n\nBoth the natural history of birds and that deep cultural connection. From their evolution and anatomy to their behavior and diversity.\n\n\nHawks\, finches\, swans\, or birds of paradise\, moving the focus away from a predictable species-by-species account and allowing for truly global coverage.\n\n\nThe bold nature of European Robins and why they are associated with Christmas; the mythical Phoenix\, which rises from the ashes; and learn about eagles\, from their hunting prowess to their myriads of stories and symbolism.\n\nPacked with information\, beautiful photography\, and illustrations\, The Bird Book is a must-have for nature enthusiasts. Register today to learn more about your very own backyard friends! \nAbout the Author: Dr. Jay Jinsing Falk is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the University of Colorado. He is an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist fascinated by the diversity that can be found within species\, especially in sexual traits. During his PhD\, he began studying White-necked Jacobin hummingbirds as a STRI Short-Term Fellow\, and later as a Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellow. His findings\, that some females of this species look like males while others do not\, has become the cornerstone of his research program. He is inspired by the dizzying array of feather coloration that can be found in hummingbirds. After completing his PhD at Cornell University\, he moved to the University of Washington to study hummingbird movement and metabolism. Now at the University of Colorado\, he is investigating the genetics and development of feather coloration. Jay currently lives in Gamboa\, Panamá\, where he studies the hummingbirds that visit the feeders at his house on the edge of the forest. \n  \n*Note: While the book will be discussed\, please be aware the presenter may explore other topics in the related fields suiting their additional expertise. Presenters can be expected to be experts in the field; however\, for the Smithsonian and Library Speakers Consortium Collaboration they may not always be the author of the book being highlighted.

SUMMARY:On the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains with Pria Anand
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a fascinating conversation with neurologist and author Pria Anand to chat about her new book The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains (forthcoming June 10\, 2025). Register for this online event here: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/upcoming. \nThe Mind Electric speaks to the stories we tell ourselves about our brains\, and the stories that our brains tell to us. \nA girl believes she has been struck blind for stealing a kiss. A mother watches helplessly as each of her children is replaced by a changeling. A woman is haunted each month by the same four chords of a single song. In neurology\, illness is inextricably linked with narrative\, the clues to unraveling these mysteries hidden in both the details of a patient’s story and the tells of their body. \nStories are etched into the very structure of our brains\, coded so deeply that the impulse for storytelling survives and even surges after the most devastating injuries. But our brains are also porous—the stories they concoct are shaped by cultural narratives about bodies and illness that permeate the minds of doctors and patients alike. In the history of medicine\, some stories are heard\, while others—the narratives of women\, of Black and brown people\, of displaced people\, of disempowered people—are too often dismissed. \nIn The Mind Electric\, neurologist Pria Anand reveals—through case study\, history\, fable\, and memoir—all that the medical establishment has overlooked: the complexity and wonder of brains in health and in extremis\, and the vast gray area between sanity and insanity\, doctor and patient\, and illness and wellness\, each separated from the next by the thin veneer of a different story. \nMoving from the Boston hospital where she treats her patients\, to her childhood years in India\, to Isla Providencia in the Caribbean and to the Republic of Guinea in West Africa\, she demonstrates again and again the compelling paradox at the heart of neurology: that even the most peculiar symptoms can show us something universal about ourselves as humans. Register now to join this intriguing virtual conversation! \nAbout the Author: Pria Anand is a neurologist at the Boston Medical Center and an Assistant Professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Medical School\, and she trained in neurology\, neuro-infectious diseases\, and neuroimmunology at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital.
