Book Launch and Signing with Author Pamela Pavliscak: “ALL THE FEELS: How To Stay Human in the Digital World”

In conversation with Jennie Baird of The Ethical Tech Project.

In All the Feels, tech and emotional design researcher Pamela Pavliscak reveals for the first time how being so plugged in shapes our emotions. Surprisingly, studies shows that digital detoxes have little effect on happiness. Instead, how we engage with the internet (rather than how much) profoundly shapes our lives. Even simple habits like sending emojis to our friends to signal nuance, or making a few positive digital connections every day, can meaningfully support emotional well-being. More Info

Book Signing with Author Lu Chekowsky: “DON’T BUY WHAT I’M SELLING: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole, Fat Self”

In conversation with Sonya Huber.

Don’t Buy What I’m Selling is a dishy peek behind the curtain of a billion-dollar industry, but it’s also the journey of one former ad executive who lived a life of contradictions—until she couldn’t anymore. With honesty and heart, interspersed with behind-the-scenes looks at the real-world tactics brands use to prey on consumers, it is perfect for readers of Roxane Gay, Aubrey Gordon, and Lori Gottlieb—and anyone who’s bought a product from an Instagram ad and instantly regretted it.

Book Signing with Author Jasper Craven: “GOD FORGIVES, BROTHERS DON’T: The Long March of Military Education and the Making of American Manhood”

In conversation with Matt Gordon.

When investigative reporter Jasper Craven first dug into Valley Forge Military Academy five years ago, he uncovered an acrid strain of masculinity that was raw, violent, fiercely hierarchical, and quickly mutating out of control. Initially, he had assumed that military education was a dying, outmoded brand. But as he looked deeper, he found a sprawling, well-funded network featuring dozens of military schools, like Valley Forge and West Point, plus thousands of ROTC programs in public colleges and high schools that allowed the Pentagon to wield outsized power on education.
