Author Talk: Dr. Luana Marques on Bold Move, with Dan Harris

Join Dr. Luana Marques and journalist Dan Harris at the Brooklyn Heights Library as they discuss Bold Move. Books will be available for purchase from Café Con Libros.

Bold Move is Harvard-based psychotherapist Dr. Luana Marques’ unique, tried and tested method to get you out of your rut and give you the courage to create a more confident and meaningful life. Dr. Luana pinpoints the anxiety at the root of avoidance and shows you how to overcome it and achieve your goals.

Dr. Luana understands anxiety. After decades of research, teaching, and clinical practice, she realized that the coping techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother while growing up in challenging circumstances in Brazil mimicked science-based CBT therapy. Now, she has synthesized that knowledge, developing a 3-step path that works for everyone—from teens in crisis to executives experiencing burnout.

Dr. Luana Marques is an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard University, founder and director of Community Psychiatry PRIDE at Massachusetts General Hospital, which brings clinical and training initiatives to underserved communities, and served as the first Latina president of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). She lives outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

Dan Harris is the author of the #1 New York Times best-selling memoir 10% Happier, about a fidgety, skeptical news anchor who finds meditation. He’s also the host of the Ten Percent Happier podcast and the cofounder of the Ten Percent Happier meditation app. For 21 years, he worked at ABC News, where he anchored such shows as Nightline and the weekend editions of Good Morning America.
