This Saturday's meeting:
 
February 11--The Social Animal:  The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievment
  by David Brooks, the New York Times columnist and bestselling author of Bobos in Paradise.
This is the story of how success happens. It is told through the lives of one composite American couple, Harold and Erica—how they grow, push forward, are pulled back, fail, and succeed. Distilling a vast array of information into these two vividly realized characters, Brooks illustrates a fundamental new understanding of human nature. A scientific revolution has occurred—we have learned more about the human brain in the last thirty years than we had in the previous three thousand.
 
Next month:
 
March 10--The War of Worldviews--Science vs Spirituality
     Leonard Mlodinow with Deepak Chopra
 
There is still time to place your order for a copy of The War of World Views that I will have at the meeting. (15% discount from Kepler's). E-mail ASAP if you want a copy at the meeing.
 
Frank is wanting to change our Group listing on the web including possible name change and where we will list it.  We hope to have 15 minutes to discuss options.
 
We will be going out for Chinese food after the meeting to a local restaurant.  Hope to see you at the La Boulanger in Cupertino (Stevens Creek at De Anza in front of Cypress Hotel) at 3:30P.
 
Chris Boyd
