Alain de Botton: Launch of 'The News'

In The News: A User’s Manual, best-selling philosopher Alain de Botton examines the effects of today’s pervasive, accelerated news cycle on our brains, souls and views of each other—often in ways we don’t fully perceive. Mixing snippets of current events with philosophical reflections, The News blends the timeless with the contemporary, bringing the wisdom of thousands of years of culture to bear on our contemporary obsessions and neuroses.

A book signing will follow the talk.

This event is part of Unbound, a literary series with BAM and Greenlight Bookstore.
