In the 1930s, the movie Reefer Madness was the centerpiece of a campaign to discredit marijuana.

Join us for a lively discussion about reefer, propaganda,  madness, musicals and saving the world.

What’s their secret?




Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg spent years researching this question and finding the answer.

Learn to overcome distraction! Our modern life is built for distraction. Indeed, that’s the basis of many high tech companies’ business models—to take us away from the highest and best use of our time, and “engage” us on their platforms. Sometimes the reasons are benign.

Often, the reasons are actively exploitative, as they want to shove ads in our face hoping to distract us even further.



Nir Eyal rose to fame as the author of “Hooked.” He intended engaging products to be used for good. His latest thinking is embodied in “Indistractable,” which tells us how to wrest our lives back from all these engaging products.
