Virtual Author Talk with Nate Klemp, PhD

Explore pathways back to openminded living with New York Times bestselling author and philosopher Nate Klemp, as he discusses his book OPEN: Living With an Expansive Mind in a Distracted World.

With the avalanche of information we get every day, closing down our minds and hearts seems to be the only way to survive. We close ourselves by compulsively checking our devices. We get close to each other by getting caught in echo chambers of outrage. But what if there’s another way? In this climate of distraction and division, Nate Klemp’s Open offers a path back to a way of living that is expansive, creative, and filled with wonder.

Drawing on personal stories, scientific findings, and traditional wisdom, Klemp explores why we close down when faced with stressors or threats―then reveals why training ourselves to fully engage even with discomfort, pain, and sadness leads to greater well-being in the long run.
