Elizabeth Gilbert – How to Seize the Day - In Conversation with Hadley Freeman, by the How To Academy (Free)
The author of Eat, Pray, Love, Big Magic and City of Girls joins Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman to explore life lessons for these anxiety inducing times.
Elizabeth Gilbert is a world traveller whose unending search for answers to life’s biggest questions have made her the voice of a generation: a singular author whose works resonate profoundly with all of us who wish to face up to life’s excitements and challenges with imagination and wisdom.
Aged 34, she left her home, husband and career to travel the globe; her chronicle of that journey became Eat, Pray, Love, an international bestseller so popular Time magazine declared her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
In celebration of the paperback release of City of Girls — a novel about daring to break conventions, following your desires and the joys of female friendship — Elizabeth joins the How To Academy for a free live-streamed conversation with Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman. In these dark and difficult times, how can we learn to seize the day? Drawing upon all she has learned in her journey through life, Elizabeth will explore how to overcome fear, embrace gratitude and wonder, and thrive even in these most perilous of times.
DATE AND TIME:
April 16th - 6:30pm BST
HOW TO ATTEND:

How to Find Love - Virtual Class, by The School of Life (£40)
How to Find Love is a 3 hour class by The School of Life which takes place regularly in our classroom at our London HQ. It is one of 12 classes around our 4 core themes: Love, Work, Self and Culture. The aim of this class is to help you to develop a core emotional skill.
The virtual class will be 2 hours long.
Choosing a life-partner can be one of the trickiest decisions we will ever make. We are expected to follow our feelings, and locate people according to our intuition. Our emotions cannot always be trusted and they tend to lead us towards problematic characters and dynamics against logical reasoning.
We once relied on parents and society to find partners for us, however, the process and responsibility has been handed over to us. In often cases, our frantic pursuit has led to complications. Alas, there are practical tools we can engage in to understand our needs in alignment with our desires to find long-lasting love.
What will I learn?
How to Find Love teaches:
Improve our understanding of why we make the choices we do.
Discover how our early experiences give us scripts regarding whom we can love, and how.
Examine harmful repetitive patterns.
Ask whether we sometimes reject love and affection because it makes us anxious.
Study three of the most common techniques by which we sabotage our chances of fulfilment.
Look at common problems that arise in long-term relationships, including ‘Perfectionism’ and the difficulty of learning from one another.
Explore ways to improve our existing relationships.
DATE AND TIME:
April 23rd, at 6.45pm BST
HOW TO ATTEND:
