DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Arts & Letters and The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley co-present the launch for the new book by Christine Carter\, Ph.D.\, The New Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction. \nTodays teenagers and preteens are growing up in an entirely new world\, one that is defined by social media and mobile devices. This has huge implications for our parenting.

In The New Adolescence\, you’ll find realistic ways to help teens and preteens find joy\, focus\, ease\, motivation\, fulfillment and engagement. \nInside\, find practical guidance for: \n>  Providing the structure teens need while giving them the autonomy they seek\n>  Helping them overcome distractions\n>  Teaching them the art of strategic slacking\n>  Protecting them from anxiety\, isolation\, and depression\n>  Fostering the real-world\, face-to-face social connections they desperately need\n>  Effective conversations about tough subjects including sex\, drugs\, and money \nThe New Adolescence is a realistic and reassuring handbook for parents. It offers road-tested\, science-based solutions for raising happy\, healthy\, and successful teenagers. \n——————-\n​\nChristine Carter\, PhD\, is the author of The Sweet Spot (2017) and Raising Happiness (2011). A sociologist and Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center\, Carter draws on the latest scientific research in psychology\, sociology and neuroscience and uses her own real-world experiences to give parenting\, productivity and happiness advice. A sought-after keynote speaker and coach\, Dr. Carter also teaches online classes that help people live their most fulfilling lives. She lives with her husband\, four teenagers\, and dog\, Buster\, in Marin County\, California. \n​\nPlease note: \nDoors at 6pm. Program at 7pm. Duration of event is subject to author’s preference. \nSigning details TBA soon. \nTickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. All ticket sales are final. \nThis event is all ages.

SUMMARY:Joan Frank
DESCRIPTION:reads from her new collection of essays\, Try To Get Lost \n\nThrough the author (TM)s travels in Europe and the United States\, Try to Get Lost explores the quest for place that compels and defines us: the things we carry\, how politics infuse geography\, media (TM)s depictions of an idea of home\, the ancient and modern reverberations of the word oehotel\, � and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and others on familiar and foreign ground. Frank posits that in fact time itself may be our ultimate\, inhabited place “the oevastest real estate we know\, � with a oestunningly short � lease.
