Two New Reading Circles for Spring
Inclusiveness Reading Circle
Book: Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice, and the Promise of America by Eboo Patel
Facilitators: Sonja Hagander, Matt Maruggi & Marty Stortz
Schedule: Tuesdays 12-1:30 p.m., February 12, March 12, and April 9
Location: Marshall Room (Includes lunch provided by the Batalden Endowment)
RSVP to ctl@augsburg.edu
In Sacred Ground, author and renowned interfaith leader and last semester's Christensen Convocation speaker Eboo Patel says this prejudice is not just a problem for Muslims but a challenge to the very idea of America. Patel shows us that Americans from George Washington to Martin Luther King, Jr. have been "interfaith leaders," illustrating how the forces of pluralism in America have time and again defeated the forces of prejudice. And now a new generation needs to rise up and confront the anti-Muslim prejudice of our era. To this end, Patel offers a primer in the art and science of interfaith work, bringing to life the growing body of research on how faith can be a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division and sharing stories from the frontlines of interfaith activism.
Please read the introduction and Part I (through p. 62) by the first session.
Community Reading Circle: Well-Being
Book: The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles That Fuel Success and Performance at Work by Shawn Achor
Facilitators: Melodie Lane
Schedule: Fridays 12-1:30 p.m.
Location: OGC 103
RSVP to ctl@augsburg.edu
Readings:
February 15: Introduction and Principle #1 (pp. 3-61)
March 1: Principles #2 and #3 (pp. 62-104)
March 15: Principles #4 and #5 (pp. 105-144)
April 5: Principles #6, #7 and Ripple Effect (pp. 145-210)
Most people want to be successful in life. And of course, everyone wants to be happy. When it comes to the pursuit of success and happiness, most people assume the same formula: if you work hard, you will become successful, and once you become successful, then you'll be happy. The only problem is that a decade of cutting-edge research in the field of positive psychology has proven that this formula is backwards. Success does not beget happiness. Shawn Achor shares seven core principles of positive psychology that each one of us can use to improve our performance, grow our careers, and gain a competitive edge at work. He reveals how happiness actually fuels success and performance, not the other way around. Why? Because when we are happier and more positive we are more engaged, creative, resilient to stress, and productive. The Happiness Advantage will appeal to anyone who wants practical advice on how to become happier and also more successful.
