Just wanted to post this for anyone in the NYC area who might be interested (it's handy working in the same building as the Strand):
Book:
Artificial Happiness by Dr. Ronald W. Dworkin
Date/Time:
September 12 07:00PM - 08:30PMEvent description:
One out of four Americans is on an antidepressant. Twenty percent of Americans use alternative medicine to relieve stress. Are we seeking a happiness independent of the facts of our lives? If so, what are the consequences? Dr. Dworkin will discuss this controversial issue with Father Richard John Neuhaus, one of the foremost authorities on religion in the contemporary world.Hmm ... I wonder if wearing a Karl Marx t-shirt (Mr. "Religion is the Opiate of the Masses") will win you points with either of the discussants?
Check out the Events calendar (http://www.strandbooks.com/calendar/#922) if you want. If you are in the area, want to go, and don't know where the Strand is, it's at Broadway and 12th Street. Once you get there, just ask and someone will tell you where the event is.
