TED Talks With Group Discussion


Join us for an entertaining TED talk by Anne Lamott, author of many bestselling books, both fiction and nonfiction, including the classic writer’s manual, Bird by Bird: Instructions on Writing and Life.

Following the video, Molly Lenowitz will facilitate a discussion of which points the group particularly appreciated.

Early in the talk, Anne tells us “there’s so little truth in the popular culture.” Her truths will likely resonate with many of us (“you cannot run alongside your grown children with sunscreen and Chapstick”). Anne’s humor is universally relatable. Although she delivered this talk pre-Covid, it is a wonderful reminder of how we can (may?) approach the paradoxes of life.

Join us for another “TED Talks Penn’s Village,” in which program participants view a TED Talk together and then discuss it with the help of a social host who will stimulate and guide conversation. TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment, Design) are presentations from around the world in which people with a passion for a subject share that love with their audiences.

Have a passion for something others might be interested in? Willing to host an upcoming program? Find a TED Talk that you like and contact Donna Murphy at donna@pennsvillage.org  to discuss!
