As digital evolution forces us behind screens, how do we make sure to prioritize tangible human connections? New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant will appear in conversation with Malcolm Gladwell to launch his new book, Vibe, a science-backed exploration into how to foster meaningful relationships in an increasingly isolating world. The evening will also feature a special appearance by Oz “The Mentalist” Pearlman, whose extraordinary ability to read people and create moments of connection offers a fascinating complement to the conversation. An organizational psychologist at The Wharton School and author of Think Again, Grant’s newest work introduces readers to a range of studies and expert insights that reveal the key to forming tighter bonds with individuals and our shared communities.
