Adam Grant, Vibe with Rainy Day Books

Adam Grant is coming to Unity Temple on the Plaza on Wednesday, November 11, for a book signing and conversation. The evening is centered on Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World, his latest book. Grant is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and an organizational psychologist at Wharton, where he's been the top-rated professor for seven straight years. He's also one of TED's most popular speakers, and his podcasts have more than 100 million downloads—he hosts Re:Thinking and co-hosts The Curiosity Shop with Brené Brown. Fortune named him one of its 40 Under 40.

There's a bit more to him than the academic side, too. He earned his BA from Harvard and his PhD from the University of Michigan, and he's a former Junior Olympic springboard diver and a magician. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, novelist and poet Allison Sweet Grant.

The session runs about an hour, with a conversation followed by a Q&A. If you buy a book there, it comes with a tipped-in signature from Grant. The event is held in the Sanctuary at Unity Temple on the Plaza, 707 West 47th Street, Kansas City, MO 64112. The Sanctuary is ADA accessible, though some seats, including the entire balcony, are not.

Doors open at 6 PM, and the session runs from 7 to 8 PM.
