Wed, May 6 · 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
## Details The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-) 📝 How does this work? We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read. Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area. 👥 Socialising After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! Feel free to join at any point during the event. The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter! 📌 Helpful Tips and Notes Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM ⚠️Something Happened? If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me. Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

View Details →Meetup: Dublin TED Talks Discussions
Wed, May 6 · 6:15 PM - 7:45 PM
Hello TEDheads! All of us will go through suffering at some point. What will you cling to on that day? Cliches and easy answers won't be enough. You will need something beyond 'everything happens for a reason'. Where will you find hope beyond positive thinking and pop-psychology? The talks below will invite us to figure out a path that deals with reality without cliche. A path that invites us to drink of the real and not simply cover our pain. Let's explore these questions and more together next week. Please watch the following TED talk and read the article on your own device before the event. # ★ Talk #1: "Everything happens for a reason" -- and other lies I've loved \| Kate Bowler In life's toughest moments, how do you go on living? Kate Bowler has been exploring this question ever since she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer at age 35. In a profound, heartbreaking and unexpectedly funny talk, she offers some answers -- challenging the idea that "everything happens for a reason" and sharing hard-won wisdom about how to make sense of the world after your life is suddenly, completely changed. "I believe that in the darkness, even there, there will be beauty and there will be love," she says. Kate Bowler \| TED • July 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTcJmIbn5nw # ★ Resource # 2: The gift and power of emotional courage \| Susan David Psychologist Susan David shares how the way we deal with our emotions shapes everything that matters: our actions, careers, relationships, health and happiness. In this deeply moving, humorous and potentially life-changing talk, she challenges a culture that prizes positivity over emotional truth and discusses the powerful strategies of emotional agility. A talk to share. https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_david_the_gift_and_power_of_emotional_courage Please note the following: We want to provide a space for those who are curious about life, enjoy TED Talks, and want to share their findings with others. Please join us as we consider this topic, Wednesday, May 6 at 7:15pm. Newcomers are most welcome! Hoping to see you there. (Please sign up only if you really intend to attend). NOTE: We ask for a 4 Euro contribution on the night to cover costs. Thank you.

⚠️ 1. New Venue: Third Space (Smithfield) 2. Start time: 7:30PM This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and safe environment and open up about our lives freely. A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves. Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room. Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend. PRICE: 5 € to cover costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event, and please buy yourself a drink before or after the event (they have tea and soft drinks also) to support the venue. TIME: We will start at 19:30 and finish at 21:50. Please be on time, to respect the event and other members in the group. VENUE: We are meeting at Third Space @Smithfield Market Smithfield, Dublin 7, D07 P440 Keep in touch with us: https://activesocialconnections.com
