Nate Klemp, PhD - An Expansive Mind in a Distracted World

Explore pathways back to open-minded living with bestselling author and philosopher Nate Klemp in this live streamed event.

Join us as New York Times bestselling author and philosopher Nate Klemp helps us explore pathways back to open-minded living when he talks to us about the core tenets in his new 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 off to ourselves by compulsively checking our devices. We 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.
