They will discuss joy that doesn’t require us to pretend everything is fine. Expect laughter\, honesty\, and the rare relief of being told the truth: you can’t always be happy—but you can be joyful\, anyway. \n.\nKate Bowler is the three-time New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason\, No Cure for Being Human\, Good Enough\, The Lives We Actually Have\, Blessed\, and The Preacher’s Wife and hosts the popular podcast Everything Happens. A Duke University professor\, she earned a master’s of religion from Yale Divinity School and a PhD at Duke University.\n.\nRainn Wilson is an Emmy Award nominated actor\, best known for the role of Dwight Schrute in NBC’s The Office. He is the host of the Peacock docu-series Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss in which he travels the world in search of happiness. He is author of the New York Times bestselling Soulpankake: Chew on Life’s Big Questions as well as his comedic memoir\, The Bassoon King: My Life in Art\, Faith and Idiocy. His most recent book is Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.  His diverse career includes television\, movies\, Broadway\, unscripted series\, animation\, and podcasts. \n“Joyful\, Anyway is colorful and layered\, unafraid of the occasional gut-punch of raw feeling and vulnerability—much like Kate Bowler herself. She suffers no fools\, especially the toxic optimists.”—Jerry Seinfeld \nYou can’t always be happy\, but you can be joyful\, anyway. \nWe live in a culture convinced that chasing happiness will optimize our bodies\, our minds\, our relationships\, our lives. But in the meantime\, bad news usually stays bad: illness\, chronic pain\, grief\, and disappointment don’t obey our timelines or vision boards. We are left wondering why\, if we’re doing everything right\, life still feels so hard. \nHonest and bracingly tender\, Joyful\, Anyway proves that experiencing joy does not depend on resolving everything that makes life difficult. Drawing on a decade of living with serious illness and a lifetime studying America’s obsession with progress\, Kate Bowler shows why people so busy chasing happiness miss out on actual joy. \nJoy isn’t something you can optimize or manufacture—it finds us at the edge of expectation\, when life interrupts our scripts. Joyful\, Anyway gives language for the ache we all carry and practices for “putting yourself in the way of joy”: loosening control\, introducing novelty\, choosing charity\, and staying open to the surprising\, technicolor moments that pull us back into life. \nJoy reminds us that no matter what\, life is still worth loving. For every time we ask is this it?\, joy will answer: There is more. \n  URL:https://livetalksla.org/event/isabel-klee-with-kristin-davis/ LOCATION:Ann and Jerry Moss Theatre\, 3131 Olympic Blvd\, Santa Monica\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Event,LA Events,NY Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://livetalksla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/https___cdn.evbuc_.com_images_1177175904_5552659427_1_original.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260426T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260426T160000 DTSTAMP:20260925T121759Z CREATED:20260216T160617Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260925T121759Z UID:42751-1777219200-1777219200@livetalksla.org SUMMARY:Kate Bowler with Rainn Wilson DESCRIPTION: URL:https://livetalksla.org/event/kate-bowler-with-rainn-wilson/ LOCATION:Ann and Jerry Moss Theatre\, 3131 Olympic Blvd\, Santa Monica\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured Event,LA Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://livetalksla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cdkkwzetaxr7fehpgdj9.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260407T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260407T200000 DTSTAMP:20260925T121806Z CREATED:20260216T144550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260925T121806Z UID:42724-1775592000-1775592000@livetalksla.org SUMMARY:Charles Duhigg DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person & virtual\nLive Talks Los Angeles event:\nTuesday\, April 7\, 2026\, 8pm\n.\nAn Evening with\nCharles Duhigg \n\,\ndiscussing his book\,\nSupercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection \n  \nAnn and Jerry Moss Theatre\nNew Roads School\n3131 Olympic Blvd\nSanta Monica\, CA 90404\n. \nPURCHASE IN-PERSON EVENT TICKETS\nTuesday\, April 7\, 8pm\n$45 General Admission ticket + signed book\n$25 General Admission tickets\n$115 Reception (6:30-7:30pm) + Reserved Section seat + signed book\n.\nPURCHASE VIRTUAL EVENT TICKETS (US Orders Only)\nTuesday\, April 14\, 6pm PT/9pm ET\n$43 Virtual Admission + signed book (includes shipping to US addresses only). Includes access to watch the event on April 14 at 6pm PT/9pm ET and on video-on-demand for five days..\n.\n.\nFrom the author of The Power of Habit\, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work—and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life.\n.\nCharles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist and the author of Supercommunicators\, The Power of Habit\, and Smarter Faster Better. A graduate of Harvard Business School and Yale University\, he is a winner of the National Academies of Sciences\, National Journalism\, and George Polk awards. He writes for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine\, and was the founding host of the Slate podcast How To! with Charles Duhigg.\n.\n“This is not just a riveting read about how to understand others better. It’s also a revealing look at how to be understood. Charles Duhigg delivers a winning combination of stories\, studies\, and guidance that might well transform the worst communicators you know into some of the best.”—Adam Grant\, New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential\, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking\n.\n“Our personal and professional success depend upon our ability to understand and be understood\, and yet we typically leave this up to intuition. In Supercommunicators\, Charles Duhigg goes through a mountain of research—and some riveting stories—and unearths practical tactics to show that anyone can become a more effective listener\, speaker\, and even social media poster.”—David Epstein\, bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene\n.\nIn Supercommunicators\, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. \nCommunication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak\, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?)\, emotional (How do we feel?)\, and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having\, you’re unlikely to connect. \nSupercommunicators know the importance of recognizing—and then matching—each kind of conversation\, and how to hear the complex emotions\, subtle negotiations\, and deeply held beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences\, our values\, our emotional lives—and how we see ourselves\, and others—shape every discussion\, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. In this book\, you will learn why some people are able to make themselves heard\, and to hear others\, so clearly. \nWith his storytelling that takes us from the writers’ room of The Big Bang Theory to the couches of leading marriage counselors\, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations—and teaches us the tips and skills we need to navigate them more successfully. \nIn the end\, he delivers a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools\, we can connect with anyone.
