Adam Grant: Vibe (In Conversation with Matthew McConaughey)

Adam Grant is coming to the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center on Monday, October 26, for a conversation about his new book, Vibe. He'll be joined on stage by Matthew McConaughey, and the whole evening is presented by BookPeople.

Grant is an organizational psychologist and author, and Vibe is his latest work. It looks at the science of building stronger relationships and communities—the kind of stuff that usually feels intuitive, but that he approaches with a researcher's eye. The conversation will center on the book, with McConaughey as the interlocutor, and it opens up to the audience for a Q&A session, so you can ask your own questions rather than just listening to them talk. If you're into the psychology of how people connect, that's the part to look forward to.

It's a BookPeople event, and they've bundled a pre-signed copy of Vibe into the ticket, so you'll have the book in hand before you even walk through the doors. The venue is the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center at 1500 Barbara Jordan Blvd. in Austin.

The conversation starts at 6 PM, and check-in begins at 5:30 PM, so you've got a half-hour window to get settled before things kick off.
