Leading the Mind: An Evening with Oliver Sacks

The essence of leadership is based on empowering individuals, organizations and societies to forgo the status quo and find new ways to solve complex challenges. Dr. Sacks will explore the mysteries of the mind based on his four-decade journey where he has encountered an unshakable human capacity in the face of seemingly insurmountable forces. In his newest book, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Dr. Sacks investigates the power of music to move us, to heal and to haunt us.
Dr. Sacks is the author of ten books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. He has demonstrated keen leadership in his field of neurological science, as chronicled in the acclaimed film, Awakenings, starring Robin Williams and Robert De Niro, an explanation of the nature of perception, memory, consciousness and creativity.
