I started my Book Club in 2008 because I love reading inspirational books on all kinds of holistic topics--yoga philosophy, spiritual growth, the natural world--and wanted to discuss them with others. Join me seasonally in my home or poolside (Zoom option available) for meaningful conversation, as well as a plant-based potluck where you'll go home with lots of new recipe ideas--and leftovers! FREE to current Private and Online yoga students; all others warmly welcomed, $10. RSVP below for our next Book Club gathering.
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope?
A global pandemic, the worsening climate crisis, political upheaval; it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed.
In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous naturalist, and Doug Abrams, an internationally-bestselling author, explore, through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue, one of the most sought-after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit.
Told through stories from a remarkable career and fascinating research, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? Filled with engaging dialogue and pictures from Jane's storied career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of our world's most beloved figures.
