WINIFRED GALLAGHER
Author of
RAPT: ATTENTION AND THE FOCUSED LIFE
Location:
Tom Douglas’ Palace Ballroom
2100 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121 (map)
Time: 6:30 p.m. • Cost: $25
Several years ago when Gallagher discovered she had cancer, she decided to do something bold about it, she decided not to pay attention to it, but instead to focus on her life and the things in it that made her happy. While it didn’t work all the time, she found that she got through her illness surprisingly well and she set out to further explore our understanding of attention: What is attention, exactly? Can we train our focus? How does your unique, characteristic way of focusing affect who you are? In today’s world of Blackberries, twitter, sound bites, and an ever-increasing incidence of ADD in our children, we need to be reminded that your life is the creation of what you focus on and what you don’t.
The Good Life: books for better living series will be interactive evenings of conversation with authors on tools for creating “the good life.” These events will take place at Tom Douglas’s Palace Ballroom where we will gather together to enjoy appetizers and beverages and an onstage interview of the author by Warren Etheredge of The Warren Report; and our evenings will end with a booksigning and a bit of award winning Theo Chocolate — plus you get the featured book to take home!
Tickets for the events listed are $25 per person — yes, less than the cost of the book! A copy of each author’s new book is included in the ticket price as are appetizers and bites of Theo Chocolate that evening. There will be a cash bar available.
