SUMMARY:DON MIGUEL RUIZ presents THE THREE QUESTIONS:  How to Discover and Master the Power Within You In conversation with co-author Barbara Emrys
DESCRIPTION:The beloved spiritual teacher builds on the message of his enduring New York Times and international bestseller The Four Agreements with this profound guide that takes us deeper into the tradition of Toltec wisdom\, helping us find and use the hidden power within us to achieve our fullest lives. \nIn The Four Agreements\, Don Miguel Ruiz introduced seekers on the path to enlightenment to the tenets of Mesoamerican spiritual culture — the ancient Toltec. Now\, he takes us deeper into Native American practice\, and asks us to consider essential questions that drive our lives and govern our spiritual power. Three eternal questions can help us into our power and use it judiciously: \n>  Who am I?\n>  What is real?\n>  How do I express love? \nAt each stage in our lives\, we must ask these simple yet deeply profound questions. Finding the answers will open the door to the next stage in our development\, and eventually lead us to our complete\, truest selves. But as Don Miguel Ruiz makes clear\, we suffer if we do not ask these questions — or if we fail to pay attention to their answers — because we either never act on our power or use it destructively. Only when power is anchored in our identity and in reality will it be able to be in synch with the universe — and be of true benefit to ourselves and to others. \nThe three questions provide a practical framework that allows readers to engage with Ruizs transformative message and act as a vehicle for overcoming fear and anxiety and discovering peace of mind. An essential guide for all travelers pursuing self-knowledge\, understanding\, and acceptance\, The Three Questions is the next step in our unique spiritual metamorphosis. \n—\nDon Miguel Ruiz is an international bestselling author\, and has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec through his books\, lectures and journeys to sacred sites around the world. \nBarbara Emrys is a spiritual teacher and the author of The Red Clay of Burundi: Finding God\, the Music\, and Me. \nPlease note: \nEach ticket includes one copy of The Three Questions. Don Miguel will pre-sign the books. \nConversation to be followed by a Q&A. Additional details coming soon. \nThis event is all ages. Accessibility is important to us! If you have special needs of any kind\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com and we will do our best to accommodate you.

SUMMARY:BINDERY: Porochista Khakpour / Sick
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts an evening with the author of Sons and Other Flammable Objects and The Last Illusion\, Porochista Khakpour for her new book Sick: A Memoir. Porochista will be in conversation with Esmé Weijun Wang (The Border of Paradise). Please join us! \n  \nFor as long as writer Porochista Khakpour can remember\, she has been sick. For most of that time\, she didn’t know why. All of her trips to the ER and her daily pain and lethargy only ever resulted in one question: How could any one person be this sick? Several drug addictions\, three major hospitalizations\, and over $100\,000 later\, she finally had a diagnosis: late-stage Lyme disease. In the tradition of Brain on Fire and Darkness Visible\, an honest\, beautifully rendered memoir of chronic illness\, misdiagnosis\, addiction\, and the myth of full recovery. Sick is a candid\, illuminating narrative of hope and uncertainty\, boldly examining the deep impact of illness on one woman’s life. \n  \n\nPorochista Khakpour’s debut novel Sons and Other Flammable Objects was a New York Times Editor’s Choice\, one of the Chicago Tribune’s Fall’s Best\, and the 2007 California Book Award winner in the “First Fiction” category. Her second novel The Last Illusion was a 2014 “Best Book of the Year” according to NPR\, Kirkus\, Buzzfeed\, Popmatters\, Electric Literature\, and many more.  Among her many fellowships is a National Endowment for the Arts award. Her nonfiction has appeared in many sections of The New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, Elle\, Slate\, Salon\, and Bookforum\, among many others. Currently\, she is guest faculty at VCFA and Stonecoast’s MFA programs as well as Contributing Editor at The Evergreen Review. Born in Tehran and raised in the Los Angeles area\, she lives in New York City’s Harlem. Her author photo was taken by Sylvie Roskoff. \n  \nEsmé Weijun Wang is a novelist and essayist. Her debut novel\, The Border of Paradise\, was called a Best Book of 2016 by NPR and one of the 25 Best Novels of 2016 by Electric Literature. She was named by Granta as one of the “Best of Young American Novelists” in 2017\, and is the recipient of the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize for her forthcoming essay collection\, The Collected Schizophrenias. Born in the Midwest to Taiwanese parents\, she lives in San Francisco\, and can be found at esmewang.com and on Twitter @esmewang. \n  \n\nPlease note: This event is free and all ages\, and will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nDoors and bar open at 7. Event starts at 7:30pm. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nAccessibility is important to us! If you have special needs of any kind\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com and we will do our best to accommodate you. \n\n\n\n\nBooks:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSick: A Memoir (Paperback)\n\nBy Porochista Khakpour\n$15.99\nISBN: 9780062428738\nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now\nPublished: Harper Perennial – June 5th\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSons and Other Flammable Objects (Paperback)\n\nBy Porochista Khakpour\n$14.00\nISBN: 9780802143860\nAvailability: Out of Stock – Usually Ships in 1-5 Days\nPublished: Grove Press – September 1st\, 2008\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Border of Paradise (Paperback)\n\nBy Esme Weijun Wang\n$16.00\nISBN: 9781939419699\nAvailability: On Our Shelves Now\nPublished: Unnamed Press – April 12th\, 2016
