Join renowned neuroscientist Dr. Norman Farb and clinical psychologist Dr. Zindel Segal for an evening of conversation and mindfulness, celebrating the release of their new book, Better in Every Sense, a practical and mind-expanding guide to “sense foraging”—the art of tapping into our brain’s sensory networks and tuning into the dynamic, vibrating world around us.

Hailed by mindfulness pioneers like Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sharon Salzberg and Dan Harris for its practical tools to improve your life, and by leading neuroscientists like Judson Brewer for its accessible approach to the science of the mind, Better in Every Sense offers a refreshing take on what it means to “live in the moment,” laying out an engaging, prescriptive approach, built on decades of clinical research, to freeing ourselves from ruts and flourishing in the face of challenges and uncertainty. Join the authors as they discuss the cutting-edge research motivating the book, the challenges of science communication, and their adventures in TikTok and across social media.

As Professors Farb and Segal present their rich insights and personal stories, they’ll guide us through a series of simple exercises and mental techniques for activating our senses and re-engaging with life, and offer a unique glimpse into a book that Jon Kabat-Zinn calls “profoundly liberative and healing, revolutionary and yet totally commonsensical”—a practical sensory toolkit to ground you, revitalize you and help you live a more meaningful life.
