Dr. Jane Goodall in Conversation With Dr. Evan Antin / Ticketed Event
October 20, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
$28Join us for a special event with Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, global icon and the world’s most famous living naturalist, as she discusses her new book, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times (Celadon). Dr. Goodall will be joined in conversation by celebrity wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Evan Antin, author of World Wild Vet: Encounters in the Animal Kingdom. The two will discuss one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, Jane will touch on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action?
