Using Your Instincts to Thrive

Hello Everyone,
Here's hoping the New Year has started off on a positive note for you.
If life did not turn out the way you wanted last year the good news is that you have another shot this year :)

Sharing with you a podcast I listen to often called, "A Bit of Optimism" hosted by Simon Sinek. Check out this 50 mins episode, "Your Instincts Know What You Want."

Join us at the Central Library, Room 3-10B for a meet and greet then a lively discussion about how we use our instincts.

You don't have to listen to the episode to attend.

Here's a summary of the episode that we will use to focus the conversation:
"Your instincts aren’t just whispers. They’re a compass pointing you toward the life you’re meant to live. But in a world obsessed with speed, metrics, and outcomes, most of us forget how to listen.
Arthur Brooks, bestselling author and Harvard Business School professor, teaches one of the most popular classes on happiness. But his insights come not just from research, but from a life of reinvention: from French horn player to scholar, from think-tank leader to teacher, and even pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago.

In this conversation, we explore why so many of us feel unhappy today, the real equation for joy, and why following your gut is essential. Along the way, Arthur shares how to treat life like a pilgrimage, why AI may strip away the struggle that makes us wise, and why the process - not the outcome - is where happiness lives.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “falling behind,” or if you’re searching for the courage to trust your instincts, this episode will remind you that happiness isn’t something you chase - it’s something you practice, every step of the way."

Looking forward to catching up and sharing experiences. Hope to see you there!
