02.10: Sharon Salzberg CANCELLED

2014-01-28 22:32:57| Powells Books Events Calendar

Real Happiness at Work (Workman) brings the profound benefits of meditation to an area where people could use it most: the workplace. Written by one of the world's leading meditation teachers, Sharon Salzberg's Real Happiness at Work — the follow-up to her bestselling Real Happiness — is a practical guide to improving work life through mindfulness, compassion, and ingenuity. It's about being committed without being consumed, competitive without being cruel, and managing time and emotions to counterbalance stress and frustration. Even the best jobs are filled with stress, tough deadlines, impatient bosses, and seemingly endless meetings — all the ills of harried life. But as science increasingly shows, meditation is the antidote. We're sorry to report that this event has been cancelled.

01.23: Chasing Chaos: My Decade in and out of Humanitarian Aid CANCELLED

2014-01-10 00:56:49| Powells Books Events Calendar

Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide as an idealistic intern, eager to contribute to the work of the international humanitarian aid community. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined. In Chasing Chaos (Broadway), Alexander's honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the realities of life as an aid worker. We watch as she manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, collects evidence for the Charles Taylor trial in Sierra Leone, and contributes to the massive aid effort to clean up a shattered Haiti. But we also see the alcohol-fueled parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and self-doubt, and the struggle to do good in places that have long endured suffering. Alexander transports readers to some of the most troubled locations around the world and shows us not only the seemingly impossible challenges, but also the moments of resilience and recovery. We're sorry to report that this event has been cancelled.

Alone in an empty house, Lucy tries to imagine the lives of her two young children. They have been gone for seven years, and she is tormented by the role she played in that heartbreaking loss.

Now the lies they told and the choices they made have come to haunt all three of them. Lies You Wanted to Hear (Sourcebooks Landmark) explores the way good people talk themselves into doing terrible, unthinkable things. A searing story that will leave you wondering what choices you would make, Lies You Wanted to Hear is James Whitfield Thomson's stunning debut.
