Author Sharon Podobnik Book Release Party
2023-11-11 16:00 - 18:00
Author Sharon Podobnik Book Release Party, author of the book It’s Not (All) Your Fault (info below!)
BOOK SUMMARY:
This could be the last self-help book you ever read.
Self-help books promise transformation and empowerment but rarely deliver real change. What gives?
Despite what we’ve been told, no amount of self-help, quick-fixes, or mind-hacks will get us where we need to go. We cannot transform our futures through willpower and hard work alone.
It’s Not (All) Your Fault reveals the ways self-help—though well-meaning—is deeply flawed and keeps us trapped in stagnant cycles. It makes all of society’s problems your problems.
Sharon Podobnik draws on extensive industry and personal experience to offer a fresh perspective on personal development and collective transformation, revealing their inextricable link and demonstrating that well-being depends on solidarity, not self-optimization.
Whether you’re a self-help enthusiast, skeptic, or outspoken activist, this book is essential reading. Through captivating stories and insightful research, Podobnik reorients us to our power, provides radical strategies for growth and change, and brings conscious awareness to what we already know: the future is a collaborative effort.
Despite what the world has told you, it’s not all your fault.
ADVANCED PRAISE:
“A wonderful chaser to our collective self-optimization hangover…“
~ Dr. Devon Price, social psychologist and author of the books Unmasking Autism and Laziness Does Not Exist

“Podobnik pulls no punches in her brilliant analysis…ultimately showing us that liberation is a collective project.”
~ Renee Powers, Founder & CEO, Feminist Book Club

“Sharon’s take on the self-help industry is refreshing and, as someone who has spent countless hours reading those books, made me realize that I’m not alone in my feelings of failure and inadequacy stemming from what’s meant to be helpful. Turns out, it’s not (all) my fault.”
~ Maricella Herrera, CEO, Ellevate Network

“Rather than fixing ourselves, Podobnik invites us to recognize our shared humanity, articulate our deepest values, and work together to build the future we deserve. Hers is a vision of radical hope with the power to transform lives and society itself.”
~Shasti Conrad, political strategist, Chair of the Washington State Democrats

West Seattle Classic Novels (and Movies) book club
In November, we’re turning to Lampedusa’s The Leopard (1958)

The Leopard (Italian: Il Gattopardo) is a novel by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa that chronicles the changes in Sicilian life and society during the Risorgimento (1848-1871, when the modern-day Italian state united as one). Published posthumously in 1958, a year after his death and unbeknownst to the author, it became the top-selling novel in Italian history and is considered one of the most important novels in modern Italian literature. The novel was made into an award-winning 1963 film of the same name, directed by Luchino Visconti and starring Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon. {from Wikipedia}

We’ll meet at C & P Coffee at 3pm on Sunday, October 29, 2023; find us at an outdoor table in the back of the coffee shop. All are welcome!

Meeting outside at an outdoor table behind C & P.

Deb Seymour
2023-12-10 15:00 - 17:00
Deb Seymour is a born goofball and entertainer. Whimsical & heartfelt, her off-beat songs about hitch-hiking chickens, tango-dancing Martians, culpable canines and broken hearts and home repair manuals have clever turns of phrase and all-encompassing musicality are reminiscent of Christine Lavin, Tom Lehrer, and Broadway.
