Details
Arthur Brooks has reinvented himself several times throughout his career, from musician to academic, 11th President of the American Entreprise Institute, author of more than 10 books, and since several years back to academia as a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School.
In recent years, through his classes at HBS and his weekly column “How to Build a Life” at The Atlantic, among other projects, Arthur Brooks has focused his attention on the question of how to find greater happiness as we age and change. He reflects on this matter in “From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life”, his last book and instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, so we encourage all those interested in exploring the themes of purpose and happiness to join us for this special event.
During the conversation, Brooks will give an overview of his thinking, followed by a conversation moderated by Geoffroy Gérard, General Director at IE Foundation and Vice Dean of Strategic Development and Partnerships, IE School of Science and Technology, together with Lisa Bevill, Academic Director of IE Center for Health, Well-Being and Happiness.
Santiago Iñiguez, Vice President of Hay Festival Segovia, President of IE University and author of several books, including “Philosophy Inc. Applying Wisdom to Everyday Management”, will be introducing the talk.
We look forward to seeing you there!
