Adam Gopnik in Conversation 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.
