✨ Join us for a virtual conversation with bestselling author Nir Eyal as he discusses his new book, Beyond Belief, a science-backed guide to reshaping the hidden assumptions that shape what we see, feel, and do.

Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and remarkable case studies, Eyal introduces the Three Powers of Belief: Attention, Anticipation, and Agency. Whether you have ever quit too soon, stalled in your career, or struggled to reach your goals, this talk offers the science and the system to help you go further than you thought possible.

What does it mean to be human in an increasingly automated world?

Join us for a virtual conversation with theoretical neuroscientist and self-proclaimed "mad scientist" Dr. Vivienne Ming as she discusses her new book, Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers, Build Better People.

In Robot-Proof, Dr. Ming explores how individuals, companies, and societies are already responding to the rise of AI, and what we can do to ensure that people remain at the center of it all. From predicting long-term outcomes for children to understanding the future of work and education, this is a thought-provoking and timely read for anyone navigating our rapidly changing world.

Join us LIVE for a chance to win a copy of Robot-Proof! The giveaway link will be available in the Resources area during the live broadcast. Be sure to watch through the Cotuit Library webpage to participate. 🎉
