Are you one of those people who have been looking for love in all the wrong places? Or perhaps you are someone who has found love, only to find that it fizzles out faster than a lit match in the spring rain? Have you genuinely tried your best to leave behind your pattern of unfulfilling relationships, only to find that you keep on going back to them, again and again?

Dr. Srini Pillay will spend an evening with us to unravel the mysteries of love and help us make wiser more informed choices about the loving relationships in our lives. He will address the following questions with cutting-edge scientific answers:

  1. Why do so many people look for love in all the wrong places? What can you do about this?
  2. Why you end up doing all the wrong things in love despite your best intentions? How can you change this?
  3. Why does loving someone else require that you love yourself first? How can you achieve without the hype of a contemporary tabloid?
  4. Why do you repeat your destructive patterns of falling in love? How can you escape these patterns?
  5. Why does love become so boring so quickly? What can you do to lead a more sustainable fulfilling romantic life?

Join us for a special evening as Dr. Pillay shares how brain science elucidates five common challenges in romantic relationships, and how this science can help us lead more fulfilling lives. He writes frequently for Huffington Post, Psychology Today, and has been interviewed on this subject by Oprah Radio, Martha Stewart Whole Living, NPR and Fox News.

Dr. Srini Pillay is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, invited faculty at Harvard Business School and an internationally-regarded expert on stress, anxiety and the way in which they impact our lives and relationships. He has written three books including the award-winning Life Unlocked: 7 Revolutionary Lessons to Overcome Fear. He is a featured voice on 33voices.com, an online forum featuring visionary thinkers who are helping to reshape our world. Dr. Pillay is also CEO of the NeuroBusiness Group, a company focused on enhancing social intelligence in companies.

Dr. Pillay will be available for a book-signing following the conversation. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Love makes us happier but also more miserable than anything else’

The Academi of Life- I Could Have Thought of This- GREAT IDEA!

logo

The ACADEMi of Life is a place of higher learning offering a fascinating look at human nature through discussions of life’s large questions around family, love, work, money and living.

http://theacademioflife.com/

The purpose of The ACADEMi of Life is to deliver conversational events to stimulate thinking, to deepen our lives and our understanding of ourselves, making the world a better place.

Feb. 24, 2011- Join us for a wise, magical evening of uncommon depth with Elizabeth Gilbert (MY BOSS, DR. HENRY GRAYSON WILL BE IN DIALOGUE WITH LIZ GILBERT THIS NIGHT) and Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. Both have presented at TED Conference and both were named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Dr. Bolte Taylor will be joined by critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer.

CLASSES

The great thinker and Rhodes Scholar E. F. Schumacher believed that all through school and university we are given guidance about life and knowledge and generally this guidance had little relevance to the things that we cared about or the way we conducted our lives…the way life was really lived.

Classes are being created to fulfill Schumacher’s observation … to provide the place for people to discuss the things they care about and the things that matter most in life that were never taught in school. The classes are designed to provide useful insights around the big themes in life such as family, relationships, love, money and self-knowing. The attendees of The ACADEMi are lifelong learners who are eager to discuss ideas to enrich their lives.

The provocative and transformative classes are developed by leading artists, designers, authors and academics that are the faculty of The ACADEMi of Life. These great thinkers are also known as ‘Scholarchs’ and offer insights to engage, inspire and enthrall … they do not instruct.

From everyday objects to fashion to packaging and graphics, design solves problems and strives to make the world a better place. If we can design anything and everything, why not design your life?

So many of us dream about the lives we want but don’t get around to living it. This workshop will offer a design process, Deconstruction and Reconstruction™, as a creative tool to help you design and live the life you absolutely love. We will look at our lives creatively and deconstruct it and then reconstruct it.

Come discover how to create the life you love, like a designer! Learn how to be inspirational and intuitive. Use metaphors; be playful, optimistic and constructive. Try different models. Visualize. The workshop will draw from Deconstruction and Reconstruction™ concepts in fields as diverse as design, fashion, art and culinary arts, and the work of thinkers such as Issey Miyake, Ferran Adria, James Dyson and Steve Jobs, for inspiration.

The workshop will be lead by Ayse Birsel an award winning product designer, design strategist and Deconstructionist/Reconstructionist who strives to design the life she wants to live.
