Bastyr University is pleased to co-sponsor "The Good Life: Books for Better Living," a year-long series of moderated discussions with notable authors about what it means to live well. "The Good Life" is a production of Kim Ricketts Book Events and The Warren Report and is co-sponsored by Bastyr University, Tom Douglas’ Seattle Kitchen and Theo Chocolates. Warren Etheredge of The Warren Report will lead the onstage conversations, with audience questions and participation encouraged. The "good life" begins with appetizers, beverages and mingling when the doors open at 6:30 p.m. A copy of each author’s new book is included in the ticket price as are appetizers and Theo Chocolates samples. A cash bar is also available.
Roz Savage, author of ROWING THE ATLANTIC: Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean: Approaching 40, Savage decided there must be more to life than an unhappy marriage, an expensive car and a high paying job — but to become the first woman ever to compete in the Atlantic Rowing Race? They told her she was crazy; that she wasn’t big enough, not tall enough, not strong enough. Her determination toward that goal and her dangerous journey is a story to give hope to anyone with the courage to seek more for their lives. Savage has gone on to be the first woman to cross the Pacific Ocean solo, and continues to work toward new goals, not only for herself but also the environment.
Savage has been featured on the CBS Early Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, and in everything from National Geographic to Outside to Men’s Journal, and regularly tours the world as a motivational speaker.
Tickets can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets or by calling the Book Events office at (206) 632-2419.
