Adam Gopnik with Malcolm Gladwell: On the Mystery of Mastery

Adam Gopnik with Malcolm Gladwell: On the Mystery of Mastery
Join award-winning New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik with New York Times-bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell on the nature of talent - and Gopnik’s fascinating new book, The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery. Apprenticing himself to an artist, a dancer a boxer, and even a driving instructor, Gopnik’s new book is a movingly persistent study of knowledge itself - how we acquire it, and why we must rely on one another to learn - a fascinating intellectual companion to Gladwell’s bestselling Outliers.
Together, Gopnik and Gladwell pose elemental, essential questions about the nature of the human mind: who are we? How do we learn? Does our knowledge define us? How can we better understand each other and ourselves? Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of conversation and inquiry.

Two gracious, braniac Canadians -- let the improvisational anecdotes flow. May we all have the fortune to choose either beautiful or full lives. P.S. Personally, I like how the name Gopnik sounds: a pleasing staccato. It suits him just so.

Wonderful conversation Adam and Malcolm. Using people that Adam nows via his book was a great catalyst for conversation. I really enjoyed it.Thanks 92nd Street Y!
