AN EVENING WITH

Mo Rocca

DISCUSSING HIS BOOK,

Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth Reliving

November 13, 8pm

Aratani Theatre, Downtown Los Angeles

Mo Rocca is a correspondent forCBS Sunday Morning,

host ofThe Henry

Ford’s Innovation

Nation, and host

and creator of the

Cooking Channel’s

My Grandmother’s

Ravioli. He’s also a

frequent panelist

on NPR’s hit

weekly quiz show

Wait, Wait...Don’t

Tell Me.

Mo Rocca has always loved

obituaries—reading about the

remarkable lives of world

leaders, captains of industry,

innovators and artists. But not

every notable life has gotten the

send-off it deserves. With

Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth

Reliving—the book companion to the CBS podcast of the

same name—the journalist, humorist, and history buff is

righting that wrong, profiling the people who have long

fascinated him—from the 20th century’s greatest

entertainer ... to sitcom characters gone all too soon ... to

a shamefully forgotten Founding Father. Even if you know

the names, you’ve never understood why they matter ...

until now.

letter to the power

creativity from one

musicians of our

time.

AN EVENING WITH

Daniel Siegel

and Tina Payne Bryson

DISCUSSING THEIR BOOK

The Power of Showing Up: How Parental

Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become

and How Their Brains Get Wired

January 16, 8pm 8pm

William Turner Gallery

Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., is a

clinical professor of

psychiatry at the David

Geffen School of Medicine

at UCLA, the founding

co-director of the UCLA

Mindful Awareness

Research Center, and the executive director of the

Mindsight Institute.

Dr. Siegel is the author of several books, including the

New York TimesbestsellersAwareandBrainstorm, and is

the co-author with Tina Payne Bryson ofThe Whole-Brain

Child,No-Drama Discipline, andThe Yes Brain.

Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D., is the founder and executive

director of the Center for Connection, a multidisciplinary

clinical practice, and of the Play Strong Institute, a center

devoted to the study, research, and practice of play therapy

through a neurodevelopmental lens. She is a licensed

clinical social worker, providing pediatric and adolescent

psychotherapy and parenting consultations.

One of the very best scientific predictors for how any

child turns out—in terms of happiness, academic success,

leadership skills, and meaningful relationships—is whether

at least one adult in their life has consistently shown up for

them. In an age of scheduling demands and digital

distractions, showing up for your child might sound like a

tall order. Showing up means offering a quality of presence.

And it’s simple to provide once you understand the four

building blocks of a child’s healthy development. Every

child needs to feel what Siegel and Bryson call the Four S’s:

Safe, Seen, Soothed and Secure.

Based on the latest brain and attachment research,The

Power of Showing Upshares stories, scripts, simple

strategies, illustrations, and tips for honoring the Four S’s

effectively in all kinds of situations—when our kids are

struggling or when they are enjoying success; when we are

consoling, disciplining, or arguing with them; and even

when we are apologizing for the times we don’t show up

for them. Demonstrating that mistakes and missteps are

repairable and that it’s never too late to mend broken trust,

this book is a powerful guide to cultivating your child’s

healthy emotional landscape.
