DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR LIVE EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/155483/register \nWATCH RECORDING AFTER EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/archive \n  \nJoin us on May 7th at 7 PM for an exciting online conversation with internationally acclaimed author Marjan Kamali as we delve into the timeless wonder of her New York Times bestselling novel\, The Lion Women of Tehran. \nIn 1950s Tehran\, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father\, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances\, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation. \nLuckily\, on the first day of school\, she meets Homa\, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together\, the two girls play games\, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home\, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar\, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.” \nBut their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran\, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later\, however\, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives. \nTogether\, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point\, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences. \nRegister now to hear directly from the author about the crafting of her tender\, yet immensely powerful work. \nAbout the Author: \nMarjan Kamali\, born in Turkey to Iranian parents\, is the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion Women of Tehran\, The Stationery Shop\, and Together Tea.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Reshape Your Beliefs and Unlock Your True Potential with Nir Eyal
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR LIVE EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/157388/register \nWATCH RECORDING AFTER EVENT HERE: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/archive \n  \nJoin us on May 19th at 2 PM for an online author discussion. What if the only thing standing between you and the seemingly impossible…was belief? This is the question posed by bestselling author Nir Eyal in his new work\, Beyond Belief. \nMost of your limits aren’t physical. They’re psychological. In Beyond Belief\, Nir Eyal reveals how the hidden assumptions you carry shape what you see\, how you feel\, and what you do—and how to replace them with beliefs that unlock your true potential. \nGrounded in neuroscience\, psychology\, and unforgettable case studies\, Eyal introduces the Three Powers of Belief: Attention\, Anticipation\, and Agency. Mastering these powers transforms how you see challenges\, feel about the future\, and act when it matters most. \nYou’ll learn how to: \n\nSpot hidden opportunities and solutions others overlook.\n\n\nReclaim your mood\, energy\, and confidence by reshaping your beliefs.\n\n\nStay calm\, decisive\, and in control when life feels uncertain.\n\n\nBreak free from beliefs that sabotage your health\, relationships\, and career.\n\n\nPush further\, last longer\, and achieve beyond your limits.\n\nIf you’ve ever quit too soon\, stalled in your career\, or sabotaged your own goals\, this book gives you the science and the system to go further than you thought possible. \nSurgeries without anesthesia. Placebos that heal. Resilience multiplied 240 times longer. Beyond Belief reveals the science behind these breakthroughs and shows why your limits aren’t fixed—they’re learned. And with the right beliefs\, you can achieve breakthrough results. \nRegister now to learn more about how we can unlock our true potential. \nAbout the Author: \nNir Eyal writes\, consults\, and teaches about the intersection of psychology\, technology\, and human potential.
